Air Canada hiring a bilingual CEO would be the “right thing to do,” Champagne says

From Global News.

Asked his thoughts on Michael Rousseau’s plans to soon retire as Air Canada’s CEO, Canadian Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne said while it’s up to the company’s board of directors, he believes hiring somebody bilingual would be “the right thing to do.” Champagne’s comment comes after recent controversy surrounding Rosseau, who delivered English-only condolences last week after two Air Canada pilots – one Quebecois – died in a crash on a New York runway. #AirCanada #Linguistics #CanadaGovernment
