Thank you Mr. Chair.
I think we're all on the same page about the future.
We have a lot to gain on all sides. However, my only concern is about the current CEO. I hope that our position here on the Standing Committee on Official Languages will put the necessary pressure on the board of directors. We don't have any guarantee that the current president and chief executive officer will step down in September. The exact date of his departure has not been announced. He has publicly announced that it will be in September. I hope they will not pull a fast one on us by extending his term and keeping the current president at the helm of the corporation due to a lack of candidates or procedural issues. We'll have to revisit this issue if that were to happen.
Furthermore, this does not rule out the possibility that if this president is still at the helm of Air Canada in October, we will have to reconsider our approach to apply pressure to ensure Air Canada complies with both official languages.
