Currently, the Air Canada Public Participation Act (ACPPA) limits ownership of Air Canada's voting interests by non-residents of Canada to a maximum of 25%. The Canada Transportation Act (CTA) also requires that Canadians own and control at least 75% of the voting interests of licensed Canadian carriers. Accordingly, Air Canada's articles contain restrictions to ensure that it remains "Canadian" as defined under the CTA.<ref name="aircanada report pdf1" />

Air Canada Jazz was spun off in November 2006. ACE Aviation Holdings is no longer a shareholder of Jazz Aviation LP, making it an independent company. ''Air Canada Jazz'' was the brand name of Air Canada's main regional product from 2002 to 2011. As of June 2011, the ''Air Canada Jazz'' brand is no longer being marketed as all regional operators adopted the ''Air Canada Express'' name. Jazz Aviation is the largest of these affiliates, operating 125 aircraft on behalf of Air Canada.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.flyjazz.ca/english/aboutUs/history.asp |title=History |website=flyjazz.ca |access-date=31 October 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090307023111/http://www.flyjazz.ca/english/aboutUs/history.asp |archive-date=7 March 2009}}</ref>
