Air Canada CEO criticised for not speaking in French while condoling plane collision in US

Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau faced criticism for not speaking in French while condoling two pilots' deaths in a plane collision at US' LaGuardia airport. Rousseau spoke just two words in French- "bonjour (greetings)" and "merci (thank you)". He admitted his French remains weak "despite many lessons over several years," and apologised that the criticism diverted attention from the incident.
