Canadian based travel sites that advertise 'package deals' are apparently exempt from the new law (which is lame, since they're often the most deceptively priced of all travel products), and only applies to standalone airfares . But I'm still seeing plenty of Canadian based travel sites that are advertising airfare only deals without the taxes & fees included.
Not sure what the official channel is to make a complaint, perhaps at the online feedback form at the bottom of the Canadian Transportation Agency website:

Actually, under the questions and answer section, it says complaints are to be directed to the Competition Bureau:

Yeah, I saw the part about packages and thought "fine" but I've been seeing redtag advertising flights only without including the taxes. I'm wondering if they get a pass because they're discounted charter flights. If so, the law needs to added to.
EDIT: I don't understand this either. At some point they have to reveal the full price before you pay for the ticket. How does this produce any kind of advantage for them?
