Air Canada, which is required by law to offer flight service in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aircanada.com\/media\/official-and-other-languages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">both English and French<\/a>, said it will search for a new CEO who has &#8220;the ability to communicate in French.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The crash occurred on March 22, when an Air Canada Jazz flight from Montreal arrived at New York&#8217;s LaGuardia Airport and <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/laguardia-airport-closed-arrving-air-canada-plane-ground-vehicle-collide\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">collided<\/a><\/span> with a fire-and-rescue vehicle on a runway. The plane&#8217;s two pilots were killed in the crash. They were Antoine Forest, a French-speaking Quebecer, and Mackenzie Gunther, a graduate of Toronto&#8217;s Seneca Polytechnic.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After the crash, Rousseau delivered his <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AirCanada\/status\/2036129949317255493?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">condolence video message<\/a> in English, with French subtitles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Canada is an officially bilingual nation, and Prime Minister Mark Carney had said the English-only message showed a lack of compassion and judgment. Quebec&#8217;s premier and others called on the airline executive to resign, while the Office of the Commissioner of Official Languages has received hundreds of complaints.<\/p>\n<p>Steven MacKinnon, Canada&#8217;s transport minister, thanked Rousseau in a social media post and said the government will continue to work closely with Air Canada to ensure it &#8220;provides safe, reliable, affordable and bilingual service to all Canadians.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Quebec Premier Fran\u00e7ois Legault noted that when Rousseau was appointed president of the airline in February 2021, he promised to learn French. Before serving as Air Canada&#8217;s CEO, Rousseau had worked as the airline&#8217;s deputy CEO and chief financial officer.<\/p>\n<p>Quebec&#8217;s identity has been contentious since the 1760s, when the British completed their takeover of what was then called New France. Quebec is about 80% French-speaking.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation
