The case continues to this day and the linguistic rights issues raised by Mr. Caron are not yet resolved, and they won't be for some time.

Also, the issues raised in Caron have very little to do with AC, WS and the OLA and ACPPA.

Above a link to the aforementioned Caron case.. many other references.. but a point developed from the french requirement in documents, if language is not written in french for WS, it could cause a similar prolonged legal battle in court..
