Looks like some new passenger rights for those flying to/from Canada or on Canadian airlines.  

 

Highlights:

- Better compensation for delays and being bump.

- Airlines must guarantee seats for kids are close to parents.  (with $25,000 fine for not doing so).

- Better baggage insurance coverage.

The proof will be in the application and verification of an airline's stated reason for delay.

 

Westjet was just fined $25K for lying to customers about the reason for a very long flight delay.
