Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau said commercial flight restrictions for the operation of the 737 MAX aircraft in Canadian airspace will not be lifted until the government is satisfied that all its safety concerns have been addressed, and that enhanced flight crew procedures and training are in place in Canada.
"Transport Canada safety experts continue their independent validation process to determine whether to approve the proposed changes to the aircraft," Garneau said in a statement. "We expect this process to conclude very soon. However, there will be differences between what the FAA has approved today, and what Canada will require for its operators. These differences will include additional procedures on the flight deck and pre-flight, as well as differences in training."

WestJet has already moved a couple of their MAX's from storage back to YYC in the last few days. No doubt getting ready to put them back into service once Transport Canada gives the clearance and WestJet complies with all that is required.
