Guest M. McRae Posted July 20, 2003 Share Posted July 20, 2003 It applies in the same fashion as it did to Canadian. - all safety announcements - as a tenant of an airport they will be expected to provide services in French upon demand. All aiports are required to insist this of their tenants under the terms of their lease with TC. Major difference is that AC must provide the service in the same fashion as a federal institution and therein lies the rub. Not sure if anyone ever did a tally of the additional cost that AC must bear vs the other carriers who are not held to the same standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Banana Wind Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Is AC not a Quebec based company, therefore would fall under the laws of Qb in regard to language? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CD Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Not sure if anyone ever did a tally of the additional cost that AC must bear vs the other carriers who are not held to the same standards. Clearly, here is one group who haven't done a tally - nor do they seem to care: AIR CANADA: GOOD INTENTIONS ARE NOT ENOUGH!

Guest M. McRae Posted July 21, 2003 Share Posted July 21, 2003 Airlines come under federal legislation not Provincial. AC is bilingual as a result of the terms and conditions of the AC Public Participation Act. http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/A-10.1/text.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
