Thanks. But when I read the article I got the impression the design was
done in Texas by a company owned by a Canadian company. But maybe all
that is irrelevant as the authorities don't seem to know what happened,
unless I missed something.
As an aside, I just read recently where Canada (population 33 million)
is the 4th largest exporter of engineering in the world.
