Via Rail executives are set to address a federal committee today about the delays that plagued travellers over the holidays.
Earlier this month, the Crown corporation apologized for the widespread delays passengers saw between Dec. 23 and 26 as a winter storm swept across Ontario and Quebec.
Its executives are appearing at the committee as Opposition members of Parliament argue it's time to extend the country's air passenger protection regulations to cover travel by train. But in a statement provided to The Canadian Press, Alghabra's office did not address whether the minister supports calls to expand the existing passenger protection regime to cover those travelling by rail.
"The safety of crew and passengers is always a top priority. All options are on the table to strengthen passenger safety even more."
