Does Canada do the same ? If yes, is this particular point marked on CYYZ chart ?
Yes these are marked on the charts as hot spots.
One of the suggestions from the TSB has been the insertion of a parallel taxiway in between these runways. From edge to edge, they are only 800 feet apart so inserting a parallel taxiway in between will be tight and will require a 90 degree turn just after entering the RET. How many will be able to make this turn?
IMHO I believe aircraft will just roll out longer to ensure they are at a slower speed entering the RET and when ATC reduces the arrival rate, the airlines will complain about the delays. Safety is paramount but the airlines don't like the delays that it sometimes costs.
They should have built 05R/23L first and this wouldn't have been an issue as taxiway H will be in between with lots of space.
