number of tasks such as analyzing the applicability of current Canadian regulations,
standards and advisories, evaluating their effectiveness and proposing changes to

research issues such as environmental impact, cabin safety, participate in the
development and implementation of various bilateral arrangements established with foreign
countries and develop advisory and guidance material related to current regulatory certification processes and design requirements.
