The Canadian Transportation Agency requires domestic air service operators to be majority-owned and controlled by Canadians, limiting options for travellers — especially in rural or remote areas
OTTAWA — The federal Conservatives and NDP are requesting the urgent testimony of the Liberal transport minister after hundreds of travellers were stranded over the holidays.
"He's the minister charged with overseeing Canada's transportation system and has specific powers under legislation. If anyone can do something to protect passengers, it's him. Canadians deserve to know what steps he took during the crisis and plans to take in the future to protect passengers." Standing committees usually meet on a previously adopted schedule or at the call of the chair, but a meeting can be called at the written request of any four of its members.
NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said earlier Wednesday that the holiday travel woes that left passengers stranded at airports or struggling to find flights home show why there should be more competition in Canada's airspace.
