806.02 (1) Every person who provides a civil air navigation service shall, where the person proposes to terminate the service or to reduce the level of service that is provided, notify the Minister (a) in the case of a proposal to terminate the service or to materially reduce the level of service, at least 60 days before the termination or reduction; and (b) in all other cases, as far in advance of the reduction as reasonably practicable. (2) On receipt of a notice referred to in subsection (1) from the ANS Corporation, the Minister may request the ANS Corporation to conduct an aeronautical study for the purpose of demonstrating that the risk to aviation safety would not be unacceptably increased by the proposed termination or reduction in the level of service.
