It appears ViaRail may explain winter travel delays to federal government

The federal government wants Sunwing Airlines and Via Rail to publicly explain what caused the travel disruptions that affected thousands of Canadians over the holidays.

There are plans to convene a committee meeting and call for representatives from both companies to appear as witnesses.

The government says Canadians deserve answers for ``unacceptable delays and cancellations.''

A spokesperson for Via Rail says the company would respond ``favourably'' to a committee request.
