MPs on a House of Commons committee are urging Transport Minister Omar Alghabra to introduce stricter air passenger protection regulations to make it easier for Canadians to receive compensation for poor airline service.

In a report titled “Strengthening Air Passenger Rights in Canada,” the Commons Standing Committee on Transport advised that cabinet quickly revisit its Air Passenger Protection Regulations (APPR), as first reported by Blacklock’s Reporter.
