Business Council Demands Government Intervention in WestJet Labour Dispute

The Business Council of Canada is calling on the federal government to intervene in the West Jet labour disruption, which has reached an impasse. The council believes that the government must act in the national interest and use its lawful authority to restore air passenger service immediately.

The cost of inaction will be devastating to Canadian families, the economy, and the country's reputation as a destination for investment, according to the Business Council of Canada.

The council is concerned about Canada's ability to maintain a reliable transportation network, citing disruptions at ports, railways, airlines, and seaways that come at a high cost to Canadian families and businesses.
