Opposition MPs are calling on the Liberal MP chair of the House of Commons transport committee to convene an expedited meeting that will include an appearance by Transport Minister Omar Alghabra to discuss the significant flight and train delays and cancellations over the holiday season and the handling of the travel disruption by the companies involved.

“I’ve just written the chair of the Transport Committee to request Minister [Alghabra’s] appearance at a special meeting regarding travel disruptions over the holidays,” wrote NDP transport critic Taylor Bachrach in a Twitter post on Jan. 4.
