The Financial Post reports in its Friday edition that as the bill that will spell out the airline passengers rights makes its way through the Senate, the agency tasked with writing regulations and determining compensation levels is finalizing its plan for public consultations across the country. The Post's Alicja Siekierska writes that the Canadian Transportation Agency will launch an on-line consultation a few days after Bill C-49 receives royal ascent. Scott Streiner, chairman and chief executive officer of the CTA, said that the organization also plans on holding day-long consultations in Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Vancouver and Yellowknife. The organization will also randomly survey passengers at 11 airports. The details come as the federal government's sweeping transportation legislation inches its way closer to law. Bill C-49 was brought forward for second reading debate on Thursday, although a vote on the legislation is not expected until the week of Nov. 20. Mr. Streiner said that he hopes to have regulations that specifically outline standards of treatment and compensation for passengers over flight delays, cancellations and boarding denials before the end of 2018.
