I'm going to politely refute this argument. Laundry services are a complete waste of corporate money. Also, in our case, one needs to be on a trip for longer than 5 consecutive nights...which for business travelers...well, we go home every weekend.

Also, there are cases where I do pack 7 shirts for a 5 day trip. I present for a living, I naturally sweat, I like changing a shirt at lunch.

So before we all embrace the 10kg limit, keep in mind that there are not only specific scenarios, but now the weight of the suitcase also needs to be reviewed. I learnt that while empty, my B&R bag is pretty heavy!

Therefore, I hope Air Canada will look at the size thing only. I'll be avoiding the check in area to make sure my bag doesn't get weighed.
