If you purchased a refundable fare and wish to refund it, a cancellation fee may still apply."

It is not for bookings made on or after March 1, it is the travel that was on or after March 1. It is clumsily worded, but given there is no alternate language for flights booked before March 1 I believe my read of this to be correct. Plus further down in the conditions it reads:

"Tickets must have been purchased directly from Air Canada, Kayak, Google Flights, Skyscanner or through your travel agent for travel on or after March 1, 2020."
Yes, you're right...6 weeks of being stuck at home has impacted my reading comprehension!

I don't think there's anyone here that can really say what AC will do. My only recommendation is to write to Customer Relations - but I can't even imagine what their turnaround time is these days.
