(She was sitting at a work desk supposedly directing incoming pax traffic at YYZ.)
​​​​​​​No, CATSA agents, individually, do not have to be bilingual (other than the courtesy BONJOUR/ HELLO). You mention YUL, however, what was the language capability of the YYZ CATSA agent in speaking (or pretending not to speak) French?
