GPS equipped because of Halifax?

Yes it’s an early ac. And, according to FlightAware, leased to them. In a recent media release responding to the TSB report on the Halifax crash, AC said they are in a GPS upgrade program for their Airbus narrow bodies that will be completed by the end of the year. By the way, can they direct that their leased ac be upgraded too? Presumably at AC’s expense?
