I believe the time we had set aside for the debate has run out and that we're going over the time allotted for the meeting.
Essentially, Air Canada has benefited from subsidies for a long time. It used to be a public institution, but it was privatized. It's still subject to the Official Languages Act and is required to provide services in English and French. Personally, I think we're fully within our rights to apply pressure. During the clause-by-clause study of Bill C‑13, we submitted a proposal to compel institutions to meet their obligations, but unfortunately, it was rejected. However, I believe we can still do so under the current act. In fact, even the Commissioner of Official Languages supported this approach.
In short, there is no law that requires it, but it would be a good thing if there were one.
