TORONTO - As families from many nations gathered for a memorial in Ethiopia to honour 157 victims of a Boeing 737 Max plane crash a year ago, one father was thousands of miles away in Canada, protesting regulators who let the jet fly.

The Ethiopian disaster, and the crash five months earlier of a Lion Air jet of the same model in Indonesia that killed 189 people, prompted global scrutiny of the design and approval of what had been the US planemaker's fastest-selling jet. The jet was first approved in the United States by the FAA in 2017, and regulators across the globe, including Transport Canada, followed suit under a reciprocal deal in which such approvals by one country are accepted by others.

The 737 Max was grounded worldwide following the second crash and Transport Canada is among a core group of regulators that is evaluating needed changes for the 737 Max to fly again.
