Air Canada CEO Michael Rousseau will retire later this year following widespread criticism for failing to speak French in a condolence video. The video was released after a fatal accident at LaGuardia Airport that killed two of the airline's pilots.

• Michael Rousseau, CEO of Air Canada, announced his retirement effective by the end of the company's third quarter.
• The controversy stemmed from a condolence video where Rousseau spoke only in English, despite French being an official language in Canada and one of the deceased pilots being from French-speaking Quebec.
• Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Quebec Premier François Legault were among those who criticized Rousseau's lack of French, with Legault suggesting he should step down if unable to speak the language.
