Please do your homework. Most contracts are implied.
Well the Tariff and the General Terms and Conditions on Carriage is your contract. Government regulation dictates that that is the contract for air transportation. Sorry if you don't like that. Take it up with your MP.
I realize that you are a civil servant. Sorry to tell you, but you are quite wrong on this. And BTW, I would bet it would help you in your career if you would do your homework and if you would learn what reality is. (Seriously. I am not reying to be arrogant or flippant or anything.)
Every right? Then you should read the Aeroplan Terms and Conditions. They can change point earning system at any point in time, etc. But benefit through the program is after you are carried. It is NOT part of your contract for air transportation.
I believe they *are* part of the *implied* contract. Except, under commercial law, that particular clause whereby they can change at any time has to be void to the extent that a contract has been entered on. They can change at any time for those contracts that have not yet been entered on.
