Dear Mr. Kemp, I refer to our conversation on the subject of the Canada-Mexico Trade Agreement and in particular to the article which the Mexican authorities have suggested inserting covering the exchange of m.f.n. treatment in all matters relating to sea and air navigation, etc. With reference to air navigation, I have canvassed the views of this Department and it is our feeling that the International Civil Aviation Conference at Chicago in 1944 laid down principles for international collaboration in civil aviation matters. Both Canada and Mexico signed the Interim Agreement, the Convention and the Air Services Transit Agreement. The latter Agreement grants Two Freedom privileges to contracting states. On the subject of other air rights, the Chicago Conference arrived at agreed procedures. We have already advised the Mexican Ambassador in Ottawa that we were prepared to discuss the negotiation with the Mexican Government of a bilateral agreement in accordance with the standard formula developed at Chicago for the granting of reciprocal rights of air service. I attach copy of our note of August 10th, 1945. I also attach copy of our earlier note of June 15th, referred to therein. Yours sincerely, | |
