Senators heeded Canadians’ call to fix the government’s transport bill

I suspect there will be a lot of talk about unelected Senators interfering with the will of the House when MPs begin to debate our amendments. They would do well to remember that these are not 'Senate amendments' per se—they are amendments that Canadian voters, taxpayers, and workers asked us to make on their behalf.

Take advantage of real opportunities to improve the Airline Passenger Protection Regulations

OpinionBY JEFF MORRISON

Since the regulations only hold airlines to account, they do not always address the root causes of disruptions, so we are calling for a system that holds other organizations in the air travel ecosystem to account.

The global collapse of air travel as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic is without precedent in the century since the dawn of international commercial aviation. Many passengers have experienced frustration, including, for some, exasperation about not getting refunds for cancelled flights. Airlines, meanwhile, have curtailed operations, mothballed aircraft, and laid off tens of thousands of employees. All this happened just months after new Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR) fully came into effect on Dec. 15, 2019, writes Scott Streiner. *Image courtesy of Pixabay*
