"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6408040\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Over the last 20 months, there's been a lot that we've had to uncover and unpack, travelling to the States and sitting through their congressional and Senate hearings and trying to understand and learn anything about the planes and the aviation system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408041\" data-originallang=\"en\">We've had to learn so much, and that's one of the biggest difficulties. We're also trying to grieve and live our lives and work and just survive. I'm going through so much from a physiological perspective. I'm not the same person at all that I was before the crash.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408042\" data-originallang=\"en\">I want everybody here to know that when this happens to you.... As I said in a couple of interviews, my life is dead. I'm a totally different person.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408043\" data-originallang=\"en\">This shouldn't have been just about let's hurry and get the Max up so we can enjoy our travels and have a reduced cost because this plane is supposed to save the travellers some money. The whole idea of what Boeing did here was basically to try to save as much money as possible. They were trying to save money because of fuel efficiency, but they also tried to skimp on safety. They hid a lot of information. They knew this plane could potentially have a catastrophic event. They knew that, yet they certified the plane. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408044\" data-originallang=\"en\">The FAA did not understand all about the Max and the changes that were made to the MCAS, and then they sent it to Transport Canada. We know a lot about what happened in the States, but we know nothing, really, of what happened in Canada, and what our civil aviation group knew and didn't know. It was only on March 12 of last year that we found out there was a concern letter showing some knowledge of this system, and that Transport Canada had asked some questions of the FAA that went largely unanswered, but when they did provide a response, Transport Canada basically said they didn't agree with what they had stated. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408045\" data-originallang=\"en\">Then why not ground the plane? There's a definition of airworthiness in the Canadian aviation regulations on making sure the plane is safe to fly, and there's no way this plane was safe to fly. The facts speak for themselves, especially after a first crash. They should have grounded it then.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6408040\" data-originallang=\"en\">Au cours des 20 derniers mois, nous avons eu beaucoup \u00e0 d\u00e9couvrir et \u00e0 d\u00e9voiler, en voyageant aux \u00c9tats-Unis, en assistant aux audiences du Congr\u00e8s et du S\u00e9nat et en essayant de comprendre et d'apprendre quoi que ce soit au sujet des avions et du syst\u00e8me d'aviation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408041\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous avons d\u00fb apprendre tellement de choses, et c'est l'une des plus grandes difficult\u00e9s. Nous essayons aussi de faire notre deuil, de vivre notre vie, de travailler et de survivre. Je traverse tellement d'\u00e9preuves sur le plan psychologique. Je ne suis plus du tout la m\u00eame personne que j'\u00e9tais avant l'\u00e9crasement.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408042\" data-originallang=\"en\">Je veux que tout le monde ici sache que lorsque vous vivez une telle \u00e9preuve... Comme je l'ai dit dans quelques entrevues, je suis mort \u00e0 l'int\u00e9rieur. Je suis une personne totalement diff\u00e9rente.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408043\" data-originallang=\"en\">L'id\u00e9e n'aurait pas d\u00fb \u00eatre de s'empresser de monter \u00e0 bord d'un avion MAX pour pouvoir profiter de voyages \u00e0 un co\u00fbt r\u00e9duit, car cet avion est cens\u00e9 faire \u00e9conomiser de l'argent aux voyageurs. Ce que Boeing a fait ici essentiellement, c'est d'essayer d'\u00e9conomiser le plus d'argent possible. L'entreprise essayait d'\u00e9conomiser de l'argent gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l'efficacit\u00e9 \u00e9nerg\u00e9tique, mais elle a aussi essay\u00e9 de n\u00e9gliger la s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Elle a camoufl\u00e9 beaucoup de renseignements. Elle savait que cet avion pouvait potentiellement entra\u00eener un \u00e9v\u00e9nement catastrophique. Elle le savait, mais elle a pourtant certifi\u00e9 l'avion.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408044\" data-originallang=\"en\">La FAA n'a pas tout compris sur l'avion MAX et les modifications apport\u00e9es au MCAS, et elle l'a ensuite envoy\u00e9 \u00e0 Transports Canada. Nous en savons beaucoup sur ce qui s'est pass\u00e9 aux \u00c9tats-Unis, mais nous ne savons rien, vraiment, de ce qui s'est pass\u00e9 au Canada, et de ce que notre groupe d'aviation civile savait et ne savait pas. Ce n'est que le 12 mars de l'ann\u00e9e derni\u00e8re que nous avons appris qu'il y avait une lettre \u00e9non\u00e7ant des pr\u00e9occupations qui d\u00e9montrait une certaine connaissance de ce syst\u00e8me et que Transports Canada avait pos\u00e9 des questions \u00e0 la FAA qui sont rest\u00e9es sans r\u00e9ponse, mais quand la FAA a r\u00e9pondu aux questions, Transports Canada a essentiellement dit qu'il n'adh\u00e9rait pas \u00e0 ce qu'elle avait d\u00e9clar\u00e9.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6408045\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pourquoi ne pas avoir immobilis\u00e9 l'avion au sol? La r\u00e9glementation canadienne en mati\u00e8re d'aviation d\u00e9finit la navigabilit\u00e9 comme \u00e9tant le fait de s'assurer que l'avion peut voler en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9, et il est absolument impossible que cet avion pouvait voler en toute s\u00e9curit\u00e9. Les faits sont \u00e9loquents, surtout apr\u00e8s un premier \u00e9crasement. Il aurait d\u00fb \u00eatre maintenu au sol \u00e0 ce moment-l\u00e0.</p>"
