Regulations and Exemptions

Q10. If there is an election called and parliament dissolves how will this impact the anticipated dates of regulatory promulgation?

The elections should not have a bearing on our implementation dates. It is business as usual for our various projects. As this is an endeavour that has already been endorsed by our present Minister of Transport and since regulations are already in effect to address safety management systems (SMS) for certain Civil Aviation Document holders, our role is to continue the implementation as per our commitment. For the other SMS regulations that are to be pre-published in the Canada Gazette Part I, depending on their completion and the end of elections, there may be delays, but these would only be temporary. Our initiatives are safety based and not politically motivated.
