Transport Minister Omar Alghabra said at the opening of a Commons committee on Jan. 12 that his government was not “hiding” and that it would assume its responsibilities regarding the travel chaos that occurred over the holidays, but he mostly put the blame on the weather and the industry.

“What do you want me to be responsible for? The weather or Sunwing’s bad decisions?” Alghabra shot back at Conservative MP Luc Berthold.
