Canada’s parliamentary Committee on Official Languages chose to summon Michael Rousseau as a result of the controversy.
As per the law, Air Canada needs to comply with legal obligations under the Official Languages ​​Act (OLA).

The irony of Mark Carney, a man who said “we agree with Hamas” in the French debate and who speaks very poor french overall talking down on this

Rich coming from a guy that replaced French with hendi and mandarin through mass immigration. We all know who was running the govt behind the scenes under Trudeau

We are official a bilingual country and Air Canada is our national airline therefore the CEO releasing an English only statement is a problem. Even if he doesn’t personally speak French I’m sure someone at corporate headquarters could have been called upon to provide a French version of the statement.
Perhaps a bigger issue arising out of the tragic accident which seems to have been a safety lapse at one of Americas busiest airports is that we really need to keep an eye on what’s going on south of our border in terms of airport safety. Let’s hope that this was a one off incident that won’t be repeated.

Rules are rules but as a person on the street… God do I so not care about this. We have two offical languages. Speaking one of them is enough. And yeah that works both ways.
