Mr. Speaker, in 1998, 252 complaints were made against Air Canada for failure to comply with the Official Languages Act.
In 1987, the former president of Air Canada, Pierre Jeanniot, was aiming to have 24% of Air Canada's pilots francophone. In 1997, only 17% of its pilots were francophone.
Will the Minister of Transport promise before this House that the bill on air transportation will make Air Canada and its affiliates subject to parts V and VI of the Official Languages Act, as proposed in the amendments of the Bloc Quebecois?
