Our MP Niki Ashton has been calling on the Federal Government to support the air transport industry that has been hit hard during the pandemic.

Ashton says COVID 19 has had a massive impact on the airline industry with massive layoffs and customers being ripped off.

Minister of Transport Mark Garneau wants to assure all Canadians that they recognize that there have been great difficulties in the air sector and they are working on solutions to ensure that Canadians have safe reliable travel once we pull out of the pandemic.

Ashton feels Canada as not done anything to address issues with the airline industry the same way the other countries have, saying that other countries around the world facing the same challenges have shown leadership and put in place solutions to protect the public interest.
