Canada’s largest airline, based in French-speaking Quebec, said Rousseau told the board he will retire by the end of the third quarter. Canada is an officially bilingual nation, and Prime Minister Mark Carney had said the English-only message showed a lack of compassion and judgment. Quebec’s premier and others called on the airline executive to resign. Canada’s largest airline is headquartered in Montreal. Rousseau previously had been criticized for not speaking French. He delivered his condolence video message in English, with French subtitles. The Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages has received hundreds of complaints about it. Quebec Premier François Legault noted that when Rousseau was appointed president of the airline in February 2021, he promised to learn French. https://ww...sh-message-was-criticized.html |
