107.1 Where the Agency, by order, directs an air carrier to refund specified amounts to persons that have been overcharged by the air carrier for fares or rates in respect of its air service pursuant to paragraph 66(1)(c) of the Act, the amount of the refunds shall bear interest from the date of payment of the fares or rates by those persons to the air carrier to the date of the Agency’s order at the rate of interest charged by the Bank of Canada on short-term loans to financial institutions plus one and one-half percent.

It's a little too soon to say how it will fare as a commodity, but as a payments innovation, we think there are some interesting lessons there and that there is some potential that we will follow with interest.

Community airlines shall have the right to transport passengers and cargo on scheduled and charter flights for which a US Government civilian department, agency, or instrumentality (1) obtains the transportation for itself or in carrying out an arrangement under which payment is made by the Government or payment is made from amounts provided for the use of the Government, or (2) provides the transportation to or for a foreign country or international or other organisation without reimbursement, and that transportation is (a) between any point in the United States and any point in a Member State, except — with respect to passengers only — ...[+++] between points for which there is a city-pair contract fare in effect, or (b) between any two points outside the United States.

This has been held to cover, for example, public transport fare reductions for large families [38], child raising allowances [39], funeral payments [40] and minimum subsistence payments [41].

While the industry relies on fewer advance payments, with sector fares and little lead time requirements for advance booking than it formerly did, the government's failure to put in place a program of financial monitoring or insist that airlines participate in a national passenger compensation scheme will again be called into question in the event of a large failure.

Furthermore, and it depends how one would deal with it, if these payments were treated as insurable earnings for employment insurance purposes, this kind of arrangement would actually improve the position we've read about in the media—how women have not fared well from changes to the Employment Insurance Act, largely because, going in and out of the paid labour force, they lose labour market participation hours.
