The Canadian Transportation Agency is putting forward an amendment that would allow it to fine airline customers who breach confidentiality regarding complaints they file with the regulator.

The current complaint resolution process bars customers and airlines from publicly disclosing the outcome of complaints.

Passenger rights advocate Gabor Lukacs says the would-be regulatory change amounts to a gag order with teeth.

The transportation agency says the rule would merely add routine enforcement powers to a confidentiality provision.
