What is TPI and why is TICO spending money on it?

0

The Traveller’s Protection Initiative (TPI) is a coalition of organizations that TICO assembled to encourage the federal government to make changes to legislation to better protect airline passengers in the event of airline failures and to make price advertising more transparent. These issues are extremely important to Ontario consumers who purchase air travel and are also important to the industry. Ontario registrants are paying into the Compensation Fund to protect against airline failures, something over which they have no control, due to the lack of consumer protection at the federal level in this area. Further, Ontario registrants have to provide full price disclosure to consumers while their federally regulated counterparts do not. This situation is not fair and TICO believes that it is important to encourage the federal government to do its part to create a level playing field and to protect Canadian consumers.
