*The total funding envelope is $1,400,000 per fiscal year. This amount represents the overall budget available to support multiple projects across potentially multiple fiscal years. Funding will be allocated to cover expenditures considered necessary to support the purposes of proposed regulatory experiments or pre-experiments. Individual project budgets will vary based on their scope and needs, within the constraints of this total funding envelope.

**Funds transferred as operations and maintenance funds (O&M) on a cost recovery basis

'''Important Update:''' Due to multiple ongoing multi-year projects, funding for the new round of REEF will be approximately $400K. This limited budget will be allocated to proposals that best align with Government of Canada priorities. Funds can support both project implementation and administration costs. Early consultation is recommended to ensure alignment with current funding availability and priorities.

 +
Transport Canada is conducting a regulatory experiment to assess the suitability of Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) for use in flight training. The project aims to evaluate LSA certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency in Canadian flight training environments. Working with selected flight schools, Transport Canada will gather data on aircraft performance, reliability, and training quality. The experiment seeks to inform potential updates to regulations, potentially allowing more modern and environmentally friendly aircraft options for pilot training while maintaining safety standards.

−
|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.

Health Canada is developing a regulatory sandbox for Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy products manufactured at the point of care. This experiment aims to test a co-creation process for developing tailored regulatory requirements under Health Canada's Advanced Therapeutic Products pathway. The project will involve collaboration with various stakeholders to design market access authorization requirements for these innovative cancer treatments. The goal is to create an adaptive regulatory framework that maintains safety standards while facilitating faster access to new therapies.

| 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.

| style="background-color: #ffffff;" | Assessing Compliance of Potential New Requirements to Prevent and Address Impacts to Indigenous Rights and Interests: A Regulatory Experiment
−
|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.

The Canada Energy Regulator (CER) is conducting a regulatory experiment to develop and test new requirements for preventing and addressing impacts to Indigenous rights and interests related to energy infrastructure projects. The experiment aims to enhance Indigenous involvement in compliance verification and oversight processes. Using a co-creation approach with Indigenous communities and other stakeholders, the CER will develop tailored regulatory requirements and test a joint compliance verification process. The project seeks to strengthen measures to protect Indigenous rights while informing updates to CER's regulatory framework.

|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.
