time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also in May, in a move to bolster financial safeguards for airline passengers, the Canadian government announced it will increase the utmost effective that will be levied against carriers for repeated violations of the air passenger bill of rights from $250,000 to $1 million and that under recent laws, airlines might be required to pay out compensation to customers inside 30
