The Government of Canada has recently launched a new consultation on regulatory reviews and modernization. The consultation is a partnership between the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and a number of government departments and agencies including Transport Canada. As you may be aware, the Government of Canada announced in Budget 2018 that it would pursue a “regulatory reform agenda [ … ] to make the Canadian regulatory system more agile, transparent and responsive, so that businesses across the country can explore and act on new opportunities, resulting in benefits for all Canadians.”
Through this consultation, the Government of Canada is looking for tangible examples of existing regulatory requirements or practices that impede economic growth, competitiveness, or the adoption of existing and emerging technologies in the civil aviation sector. Your recommendations on what the Government of Canada should do to address these impediments are being sought, as well as your suggestions for regulatory experimentation.
The consultation notice and more information on Canada’s regulatory modernization agenda can be found in the Canada Gazette at the following link: http://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p1/2018/2018-07-28/html/notice-avis-eng.html#nl7
The Government of Canada is inviting comments from all stakeholder groups. Please provide your input by September 15, 2018. Submissions can be sent to regulatoryreviews-examensreglementaires@tbs-sct.gc.ca.
