Let's separate the APPR from enforcement.
You see, the APPR is a regulation. The problem with the APPR is that the airlines don't follow the APPR. Whether you go to small claims court or use other means of enforcement, that's about how you enforce your rights as a passenger.
The APPR, with respect to baggage, incorporates the Montreal Convention, which is an international treaty and it's part of the Carriage by Air Act. It extends to domestic baggage loss and damage. For what Mr. Lawford mentioned, delays, there is a little bit of a problem that was created, but for baggage loss it's clear that it's just the Montreal Convention.
In situations of the airline wrongfully disposing of baggage, as in those we have been hearing about, that would be an exceptional case under the Montreal Convention, in which the airline has uncapped liability for the content of the baggage as opposed to the usual approximately $2,300 Canadian liability cap per passenger.
What we have been seeing—an airline taking a passenger's property and donating it without authority to a third party—is not really within the realm of a civil matter. It's a criminal matter, as we heard from a Toronto lawyer. In my view, what we would need to see there is a criminal investigation into how that is possible when it is happening on a large scale.
