Air Canada CEO Summoned Over Plane Crash Video

0:00It's March 25th. Welcome to Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Air Canada CEO, Michael Russo, faces a summons to testify before Parliament's official languages committee over a four-minute video he posted, expressing condolences after a deadly plane crash. The crash happened Sunday evening when an air-Canada jazz flight from Montreal collided with a fire truck while landing at LaGuardia Airport in New York, killing the two pilots on board. Prime Minister Mark Carney criticized the video for lacking compassion, pointing out it was almost entirely in English with just two French words, Bonjour and Merci. One pilot, Antoine Forrest, was a French-speaking Quebecer, which has fueled the language debate amid Canada's bilingual policies. Officials from both Canada and the United States are working together to figure out what caused the accident as the focus shifts from the tribute to the ongoing probe.
