Yes.  A specific amount of time they'll be grounded would imply they
know for sure what went wrong and that specific time is how long it
will take to fix.

    Canadian media outlets are reporting that SpaceX is grounded for 9

Is this an FAA grounding or self imposed and no matter which one can
    they survive losing that much business?
