Narrative:
Air Canada flight AC1398, an Airbus A220-300 (C-GJYI), and a Bombardier Global 7500 (C-FFPT) were involved in a runway incursion incident at YYZ.

AC1398, was departing Toronto (YYZ), for Newark (EWR), NJ, USA. The Global 7500 was conducting a ground test with two Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs) and one inspector on board.
While AC1398 was on its takeoff roll on runway 23, C-FFPT was taxiing northbound on Runway 33L and had been instructed to hold short of Runway 23. Air Traffic Control (ATC) observed C- FFPT crossing the hold-short line and reminded the crew to stop; however, the aircraft continued to move toward Runway 23 until ATC issued an urgent instruction to stop. C-FFPT came to a full stop well past the hold-short line, with its nose approximately 35 feet onto Runway 23. AC1398 became airborne just before reaching the intersection point. Both aircraft continued operations without further incident.
