I don't know whether this was always the plan, but the move from Montreal to Wichita is a clear statement that Bombardier is taking recent huge schedule slips very seriously and is pulling out the stops to move their test program forward. The fact is that the prognosis is better than the present situation would lead one to believe. Consider how bad the 787 looked a couple of years ago, or even the C-17 a couple of decades ago. If it is a good plane, it will recover from test program issues.
