Our transition team began drafting consistent statements of work to ensure the same outcomes and deliverables across all regions; the only difference would be how each screening contractor would achieve the expectations set out by CATSA.

Some screening officers would maintain their employers; others

screening providers. CATSA reviewed the acquisition of Aeroguard Company Ltd. by Garda Security Screening Inc. and following a detailed assessment, approved the assignment of the airport screening services agreement for the Prairies region to Garda. Although we had not anticipated the deal, we quickly realised the benefits of the risk management strategy we had built into our process – to have qualified
