91K: Designation of Parties

You could also call this:

"How the government announces which countries are part of air travel agreements"

The Governor-General can make official announcements about countries and territories involved in international air travel agreements. These announcements can tell you which countries are part of different air travel conventions and protocols.

The Governor-General can also say which areas these agreements cover and how countries are using certain parts of the agreements.

These official announcements are considered good proof of the information they contain unless a newer announcement says something different.

The Governor-General can include extra information in these announcements to help with changes or other related matters.

When the Governor-General announces which countries are part of these air travel agreements, they must say when each country joined or left the agreement.

These announcements are a type of law called secondary legislation. This means they have to follow certain rules about how they're published.
