Quick aviation fact for the committee: English is the OFFICIAL international language of aviation per ICAO standards—pilots & controllers worldwide MUST use it for safety to avoid deadly mix-ups. Every pilot speaks English operationally.
Yet Air Canada CEO records crash condolences mostly in English (with a couple French words thrown in) after a tragedy that killed two pilots, including one from Quebec → gets SUMMONED to Ottawa by the Official Languages Committee to 'explain himself' before May 1.
Because apparently a 4-minute video not being perfectly bilingual is the real emergency here.
Meanwhile, anglophones in Québec get treated like second-class citizens EVERY DAY: French text legally 2x bigger on signs (thanks Bill 96), constant language policing, and daily reminders anglophones are outsiders in their own country.
But sure, THIS is the national crisis worth a parliamentary grilling. Priorities, eh?
