Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Mr. Robinson and Mr. Turnbull, for appearing before the committee today.

I'd like to follow on my colleague's question on the validation process.

On November 19, 2018, after the Lion Air crash, Transport Canada and the FAA signed the “Validation Improvement Roadmap”, as you know, which expressed a vision that both authorities are committed to taking progressive steps to reduce, if not eliminate in-depth technical involvement by the validating authority based on level of risk.

I'm curious. Does Transport Canada intend to continue with this road map towards harmonization in light of these events?

Was it a mistake to sign on to this agreement at a time when concerns about the safety of the 737 Max were already being expressed?
