Quebec Demands Air Canada’s CEO Resignation in 92 to 0 Vote

LaGuardia Air Canada Jet Crash Kills Two, Closes Airport

Quebec’s legislature passed a vote demanding that Air Canada’s chief executive officer resign over his failure to speak French in a video about this week’s deadly collision at LaGuardia Airport.

The statement in the legislature, known as the National Assembly, called on CEO Michael Rousseau to leave his post over a “lack of respect for the French language, Quebec families in mourning, and all Francophones across the province.” The vote of elected members was 92 in favor of the motion and none against, with one abstention.
