Advocacy
As Canada’s largest member-based association, representing 5.4 million Canadians – that’s one in four drivers – we believe we have an important role to play in advocating on behalf of the motoring and travelling public.
Advocacy is a key pillar and a major role for the CAA Public Affairs department and each year we engage in a number of activities that support our role as advocates, including:
- Government relations initiatives;
- Raising awareness of important issues in the media.
Key Election Issues 2011
For the 2011 federal election, CAA asked the five major parties to publicly state their positions on key issues of concern to our Members:
1. The future of infrastructure spending
2. How they will support more fuel efficient options for Canadian drivers, and;
3. What they are prepared to do about high airport taxes and fees imposed on air travellers.
CAA will work with the incoming government and opposition parties to advance the interests of our members in these and other areas.
