Why is this important?

If these planned changes occur, commercial aircraft will fly directly over our homes at 6,000 feet or less. This will occur 24 hours per day based on their plans. This website explains the imperative: https://nooverflights.com/

NAV Canada may not be on your side. The fact is that NAVCANADA is a for profit corporation. Take a look through their financials, their customers are the airlines. So they have no incentive to optimize for communities or health, they are only looking to save money on fuel and airline operations.
