Thank you so much, Mr. Chair, and thank you very much, Mr. Robinson, for looking into that.
In concern paper C-FT-04, under “Transport Canada Position—Edition 1”, it says:
Please note that in order to meet its delivery commitments to the Canadian operators, Boeing has requested Transport Canada to issue the 737-8 Max ATC in June of 2017. To avoid delivery delays to our operators, Transport Canada will review and discuss FAA position on this concern paper during its upcoming 737-9 validation activities. Therefore, this concern paper will remain open when the 737-8 Max ATC is issued by Transport Canada.
Mr. Robinson, it would clearly state to me here that Transport Canada succumbed to commercial pressures and certified this aircraft with these outstanding issues. How is that possibly allowed to be a consideration when certifying an aircraft?
