They had 12 x 737-10 on order. This release says they have ordered an "additional" 42 x 737-10 + 22 options. It also says this is "in addition" to the remaining 23 MAX orders. The next paragraph says they will be receiving "65 aircraft in the next six years". This seems...

They were waiting to see whether they'd be keeping the A319s a little longer. It is confirmed that they will be staying in the Air Canada fleet a little longer than previously expected. They are now being sent for updating from the silversky colours to the new red, white, and black colours.
