It must be said that there are very specific reasons for the obligations imposed on Air Canada. This was a national airline company created by the government with taxpayers' money.
So, on the one hand, we have a national symbol, with all that that entails. On the other hand, we have an airline industry that is becoming increasingly more diversified. Moreover, I do not think that we can impose all of these obligations regarding the right to work in French on an airline company based in Calgary, for example.
In my opinion, imposing each and every aspect of this legislation on all carriers would have a significant impact going well beyond the intent to protect the rights of the travelling public and Air Canada employees.
I do have some concerns with respect to the transactions and transfers of employees from Air Canada to Air Canada Jazz. These are employees, in Montreal, Moncton and in Saint John, who work in francophone communities. Consequently, I don't see how I could say to other companies, which have other traditions with respect to their workers...
I think that we have to deal with the reality of the company and the rights of its workers.
