Furthermore, the Supreme Court ruled today that Air Canada does not have to pay any fines or damages.
I tip my hat to Mr. Thibodeau, who flew Air Canada between Montreal and Ottawa. When he asked for a can of 7UP, he was told "I don't speak French". He was then arrested by police. This is the same man who was not served in his official language, which is in contravention of the act. He won his case in the Federal Court, but the Court of Appeal reversed the result of the first proceeding.
Aren't you concerned? Shouldn't the government amend the act to ensure that a violation results in compensation or a fine? Otherwise, it's just an "I'm sorry". This can't go on. Otherwise, we'll be sending the message that people can continue to violate the act as long as they apologize afterwards.
