Air passenger rights in Canada and other jurisdictions / Jed Chong, Economics, Resources and International Affairs Division, Parliamentary Information and Research Service.: YM32-2/2018-9E-PDF
"Bill C‑49, An Act to amend the Canada Transportation Act and other Acts respecting transportation and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts (short title: Transportation Modernization Act), would require the Canadian Transportation Agency (the Agency) to make regulations on air passenger rights. Such rights have existed in the United States (U.S.) and the European Union (EU) for a number of years. This Background Paper provides an overview of relevant international conventions in relation to air passenger rights and describes air passenger rights regimes in Canada, the U.S., the EU and Australia, respectively. For the U.S. and the EU – the two jurisdictions with legislated regimes – the focus is on the rights available to consumers in terms of denied boarding (i.e., overbooking); flight delays and cancellations; and tarmac delays (i.e., waiting on board an aircraft)"--Introd., p. 1.
