The Beaudoin family, which owns 53% of Bombardier's voting rights, has agreed to reduce the duties of son Pierre Beaudoin but he will remain chairman of the board... 
The Annual Meeting was held in Dorval on Thursday, May 11, 2017 and in spite of the violent criticism in the media before the Assembly, several participants congratulated the Beaudoin family, particularly Laurent Beaudoin, for what he has done with Bombardier over the last thirty years.
