AC is apparently being held up by Transport Canada. There are some questions about whether AC will even move on to the Island given the difficulties they've been having.

Section 8.2 of the ATR is here: http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/SOR-88-58/page-2.html#codese:8_2Accordingly, Sky Regional would not be required to hold a domestic licence for the proposed air service, as described in the application, as its role would be limited to providing aircraft and flight crew to Air Canada, for the purpose of providing an air service pursuant to Air Canada's domestic licence.
In providing the proposed air service, Sky Regional and Air Canada must comply with the requirements of section 60 of the CTA and section 8.2 of the Air Transportation Regulations (ATR) which address the provision of aircraft, with flight crew, to a licensee for the purpose of providing an air service pursuant to the licensee's licence.
As Sky Regional is not a licensee and section 8.3 of the ATR does not apply, Sky Regional requires Agency approval before it can provide an aircraft with flight crew to Air Canada for the purpose of providing an air service.
Sky Regional is reminded that should it decide to operate a publicly available air service, it will be required to obtain the appropriate licence authorities from the Agency.
Porter Airlines’ ground staff in Ottawa have voted to join the Canadian Union of Public Employees, becoming the first of the airline’s workers to unionize....The 50 workers include customer service, ramp attendants and operations staff. A spokesman for Porter was not immediately available for comment.

(CCTC) has entered into an agreement with Air Canada allowing it to operate out of CCTC's terminal at Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport.

It looks like Air Canada is set to start flying from the Billy Bishop Airport in May.
