A Toronto man who lost his family in the crash of a Boeing 737 Max jet in Ethiopia called Wednesday for a stronger aircraft approval process in the U.S. and said more people would die if that type of plane was allowed to fly again.

Paul Njoroge was testifying before a U.S. congressional panel examining aviation safety after two deadly crashes involving Boeing’s bestselling plane. He said the Max—which is currently grounded—has a dangerous design flaw that Boeing tried to hide.
