The transportation minister said he plans to strengthen passenger protection rules, but laying the blame on enforcement is \u0027debatable\u0027

Sunwing Airlines CEO, Len Corrado, said he did not speak to Alghabra until January 5, long after the Christmas flight chaos that left thousands of Sunwing customers stranded overseas had been resolved. But the minister says he was co-ordinating the government’s response. “I didn’t have personal communication with the CEO until the issue slowed down because I felt it was unnecessary to duplicate resources… I was personally involved in what happened from day one.

“The rules were there and the airlines broke rules…If the debate is that, if the fines were thousands of dollars higher, would that have prevented this, it’s a healthy discussion,” he said.

the airlines know the current legislation has no teeth, and are accustoming their users to third world standards. BIG FINES for delaying refunds or not accommodating passengers on competing carriers is the only language those CEO understand.

Way to go incompetent Omar ! Not my fault !

Are there still enough healthy pilots?

Him and Trudeau were to busy making a Christmas video. They don’t got time for your peasant problems. SANTAS COMING! This country is a f’in joke

Fix it for the airlines again. Just like the Liberals grand announcement in 2019 of world leading protection. Just copy EU’s laws that protects travellers.

Your efforts to purposely deceive Canadians about what the federal govt does vs doesn’t do (also: can/cant) it destroying the country. Just fucking shameless.

Punch line needed: An alpha and a beta male walk into a Greek restaurant.

Do you think his high school nickname was Alghabracadabra?

I am pretty sure his mother dresses him every day!😁

Idiot

Omar al Gharba is a Syrian born Canadian elevated by Truedope to Minister of Transport.This was done although he eulogized a Canadian passport holder Gazan doctor,& lied about the IDF having shot & maimed him.The ex Canadian ambassador to Israel debunked his allegations

Saudi Kermit

I seen him at YYZ 🤣😂

Wow two government scandals in one day in the NP.

Yep! He’s gonna fix it for sure…..got all the answers from Justdumb. Can’t wait to fly….

He was busy filming videos, no time to do airplane stuff

If he was conservative, the liberals would have made him resign, but the liberals are teflon

Well, he might as well work directly for the airlines so he has to.

Seriously does any trust this clown to fix anything?

Omar you truly define the word incompetence

Imagine he worked for a private company... he would of been fired after his first month

Resign already

The national clown OmarAlghabra

westjet isn't issuing delay reimbursements like they are supposed to..only refund fare I booked months ago to save money, then I have to book another same day full fare...

This guy couldn’t coordinate a one man parade. 🤨

He is out of his league.

Seriously….? Fantastic…. Let’s vote liberal again….🖕
