<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content">Any Government of Canada regulator may apply for funding. Priority will be given to experiments where regulators have identified collaboration with regulated entities or other businesses with the aim of bringing applications of new and emerging technologies into the Canadian marketplace or enhancing competitiveness.</p>

<span style="color: #1F402B"><big>'''Contact us'''</big></span> <br>

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content">The EOI provides a brief overview of the proposed experiment or pre-experimentation project and amount of funding requested. The EOI should not take more than a few hours to complete. If you have questions on how to complete the EOI, it is recommended that you reach out to the CRI. EOIs should be submitted by email to cri-cir@tbs-sct.gc.ca.</p>

For additional information about this funding opportunity, including any assistance required to complete the application process, please contact the [mailto:cri-cir@tbs-sct.gc.ca?Subject=Regulatory%20Experimentation%20Expense%20Fund%20Enquiry&body=%20 <u>Centre for Regulatory Innovation</u>].

 

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content">The CRI will contact applicants as required if clarifications on the proposed experiment or pre-experimentation project are needed. Applicants with an eligible EOI will be invited to submit a proposal.</p>

 

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content">Eligible EOIs will be invited to the second step being the submission of a proposal intended to present the project in more detail and allow the interdepartmental DG-level CRI Steering Committee to confirm the project’s eligibility and rank the project using the assessment criteria.</p>

 

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content"></p>

 

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content">Step 3: Proposal Submission</p>

 

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content">Successful EOI applicants will be invited to complete the second stage of the application process which is the submission of a full proposal. Before developing a proposal, applicants should obtain the support of their Director General or above. The CRI supports applicants throughout the proposal development process. Regulators should refer to the Regulators’ Experimentation Toolkit to assist in identifying, designing, and carrying out regulatory experiments and sandboxes.</p>

 

Proposals will be assessed, and final funding decisions will be determined by an interdepartmental Steering Committee, made up of representatives from TBS, Privy Council Office, Innovation Science and Economic Development, Transport Canada, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Health Canada, and the Community of Federal Regulators.

 

 

<p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content">Step 4: Funding Decision</p><p class="highlighted inline mw-collapsible-content">Funding will be available from April 2023 upon completion of a MOU with the successful applicant and TBS, and is made available on a cost recovery basis.

 

The department is responsible to forecast their expenses and include the spending schedule in the MOU. The department will be expected to submit scheduled invoices to TBS to recover the expenses incurred as well as submitting financial forecast to allow TBS to decommit the funds that the department no longer plans on recovering.</p>

|Piloting an Accreditation Program for the Assessment  of Artificial Intelligence Management Systems (AIMS)

|The purpose of this experiment is to pilot a  prototype accreditation program to understand whether the main SCC  Requirements and Guidance document that works in conjunction with ISO/IEC  17021-1:2015 Conformity assessment is clear and appropriate and obtain  feedback from the certification bodies and Artificial Intelligence (AI)  companies about the program. This information is necessary to improve and  refine the prototype.

The SCC is also looking to gather information on whether the AIMS could have  an impact on the level of risk of AI products to inform potential use of AIMS  for regulators.

| This is a follow up to previous experiment to test a  new QR code prototype with pilots of an air operator within Canada for  effectiveness. The sandbox experiment will test if the digital solution  lowers the cost of compliance and improve compliance with respect to air  operators’ obligation to track employee compliance with licensing  requirements.

|Machine Learning Enabled Medical Device (MLMD)  Sandbox Development

|Health Canada is developing a sandbox to test new  regulatory approach for MLMDs. Currently, MLMD can be marketed in Canada if  the device algorithm behaviour is locked to remain the same overtime as what  was presented in the product’s market authorization application. Any change  to the algorithm behaviour requires the submission of an amendment to the  licence. Health Canada wants to test a new regulatory approach that would use  a different method of risk management than requiring a licence amendment so that  the device can change its behaviour over time as it learns from new data it  acquires over time. The current project scope is limited to accessing the  legislative authorities to establish the sandbox and developing the sandbox  application scheme.
