Sad outcome. Lex has summed up very nicely how one of most successful product we built went down the drain due to incompetence of executive management. One key fact that he failed to mention is this is all largely due to under performing management and a executive board. Even with the full backing of our government and Quebec's provincial government they failed to secure market for C Series aircraft.  Building the best product in this category is not good enough if they do not have outstanding sales and marketing team and partners who can take this product to the global market

Injecting billions of dollars by federal and provincial government without any stake in the company is like giving narcotics or alcohol when someone is going through a bad spell. With that they should have influenced to shake up the management and bring in new blood to take this venture forward. (ex2: Light train delivery). Pathetic and in a way disrespectful for Quebecers' what our government has done here.
