<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">I am not convinced that there is a problem with Rule 112. Nobody has explained why the push-pull test is unreliable in Canada while it seems to be reliable in the U.S. But in any case, the problem has been publically identified by TC/TSB and they own it. Why they went public with it without a solution to the problem is beyond me. But, what makes it really prickly is the fact that Rule 112 played a central role in the MM&A runaway <span style="text-decoration:underline;">four years</span> after the TC/TSB announced their knowledge of a defect with the rule that could lead to a runaway. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">To my perception, the fact that Mr. Johnston, in his letter to TC/TSB, uses the phrase “<i>may wish</i> to review Rule 112” rather than “<i>must review</i>” is simply an indicator that the ball is in their court. It is a hot potato of their own making, and it belongs to them. So there is no point or need to order them to deal with the problem. In light of the gravity of the matter, Mr. Johnston telling them that they “may wish to review CROR Rule 112” almost sounds like a bit of sarcasm in the form of understating the obvious. </span></p>
