Aeroplan is supposed to pass on the YQ charged by the operating carrier. This is not the case here.

This is Air Canada charging random YQ that is irrelevant to the YQ on this route. And its on their own metal!

Which makes sense, since Aeroplan is just an agent, and charges whatever AC, who issues the ticket, tells them to.
Consistent with the Aeroplan statement that they only charge what the ticketing carrier tells them to.
