The Regulatory Experimentation Expense Fund (REEF) is a fund to help regulators innovate or support innovation in the marketplace by experimenting with:

*Innovative approaches to any stage(s) of the regulatory lifecycle (issue definition and instrument choice, regulatory development, administration, compliance/enforcement, and review/evaluation)

Line 29: Line 31:

*determining whether an experiment would be the right approach (NEW!)

*developing a regulatory experiment (e.g., scope, evidence needs, experimental process, data collection methods) (NEW!)

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. 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.

|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.

| 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.For more information on each step of the process, please see the [https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwiki.gccollab.ca%2Fimages%2Fd%2Fdd%2FREEF_Guide_-_2022.docx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK REEF Guide.]

|Light Sport Aircraft

|This experiment as proposed by TC involves setting up a sandbox to determine if Light Sport Aircraft, with appropriate conditions, are as reliable as other aircraft currently being used for the purpose of flight training and if the quality of training is as good, or better, than other aircraft currently used for pilot training. The experiment will also inform Transport Canada on potential additional conditions/measures that should be included in future exemptions or regulatory amendments.

| 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.

|Aviation E-Licensing Pilot

|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.
