5. Where passengers choose the option referred to in paragraph 1(b) , they shall, subject to availability, have the right to re-routing via another air carrier or another mode of transport where the operating air carrier cannot transport the passenger on its own services and in time to arrive at the final destination within 12 hours of the scheduled arrival time.

5. Where passengers choose the option referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 , they shall, subject to availability and provided that comparable alternatives exist , have the right to re-routing, at the earliest opportunity, via another air carrier or another mode of transport where the operating air carrier cannot transport the passenger on its own services and in time to arrive at the final destination within eight hours of the scheduled arrival time.

10.

18. Emphasises the need to ensure consistency between the different legislations on air passenger rights and in particular between the legal protection for package travellers and the lack of similar protection for seat-only passengers, thus following travel market trends whereby consumers increasingly arrange their travel themselves and avoiding any discrimination against passengers based on type of ticket purchase or unfair competition between the different service providers (air carriers, travel agencies or tour operators); in particular, it urges the Commission to propose binding measures, including obligations for air carriers to provide for a final guarantee ...[+++] to cover liabilities of air carriers towards passengers, ensuring that passengers buying seat-only seats are equally effectively protected in case of airline insolvency, bankruptcy or removing of an operating licence as package travellers are already;

Mr. Michel Gauthier (Leader of the Opposition, BQ): Mr. Speaker, does the Minister of Transport not think that, in the final analysis, there is only enough room for one national air carrier in Canada, as the Bloc Quebecois has always maintained, and that the government's policy of encouraging and supporting two carriers can hardly work?

Provincial travel agency regulators such as the Travel Industry Council of Ontario, TICO, do protect the failure of an end supplier air carrier up to $5 million per event, notwithstanding the fact that the airlines do not contribute to the TICO fund.
