REEF Experimentation Reports

Competition Bureau (CB) Merger Intelligence The experiment tested whether a created IT tool could help the Competition Bureau leverage various sources of publicly available information to more efficiently and effectively identify anticompetitive mergers that may be avoiding antitrust scrutiny in Canada because they are not caught by the current regulatory regime for mandatory pre-merger notification.

Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Testing a policy lab co-creation approach to the development of policy solutions This experiment involved using a policy lab approach to engage Canadian stakeholders in co-developing new solutions to enhance supply chain transparency (SCT) for chemicals, in addition to developing recommendations for consumer labelling.

Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) Enabling Regulators and Businesses to Ease Regulatory Burden through Digital Credentials and Wallets ISED partnered with the Digital Identity Laboratory to develop and pilot bilingual digital credential educational approaches. The objective was to determine the best approach to increase trainees’ proficiencies and knowledge of Digital Credentials and obtain information on how the training affects trainees buy-in toward this technology.

Transport Canada (TC) Electronic Personnel Licence Transport Canada implemented improvements to its IT infrastructures to create a central licencing data repository, creating the foundation necessary to support an Electronic Personnel Licence (EPL). A prototype web-based EPL was developed that users can access using GC Key.
