The Regulatory Experimentation Expense Fund (REEF) supports federal regulators in innovating or facilitating innovation in the marketplace by experimenting with:
   −
Are you a Canadian regulator endeavouring to regulate a new type of industry or product? Are you wanting to test out a new approach to regulating or see if a new technology is safe for Canadians before you decide how to regulate it?  Running regulatory experiments helps create a more adaptive, competitive, and responsive regulatory environment by providing evidence for your decision-making. To learn more about why you should conduct a regulatory experiment, please [[What is Regulatory Experimentation?| <u>click here</u>]].
+
* Innovative approaches to any stage of the regulatory lifecycle
 +
* Market innovations (e.g., new products, business models, and services)
    +
<div style="background-color: #E3F2FD; padding: 10px; border-left: 5px solid #1E88E5; margin: 5px 0;">
 +
'''All stages of [[What is Regulatory Experimentation?|regulatory experimentation]] are supported, including:'''
 +
* Determining if an experiment is the right approach
 +
* Developing a regulatory experiment
 +
* Conducting a regulatory experiment
 +
</div>
   −
Promoting a whole-of-government approach to regulatory innovation, the Centre for Regulatory Innovation supports regulators and the regulatory system meet new challenges and keep pace with technological advances by enhancing their capacity to undertake activities such as regulatory experimentation, sandboxes, co-development of regulations and more.

To support this goal, the CRI’s Regulatory Experimentation Expense Fund (REEF) serves to offset expenses incurred by departments/agencies in the course of undertaking approved regulatory experiments. 
+
===<small>Financial Support</small>===
 +
*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
 +
**The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat reserves the right to make the final determination on eligible expenditures
 +
<div style="background-color: #E3F2FD; padding: 5px; border-radius: 5px; margin: 15px 0;">
 +
'''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.

=== <small>Webinar: Regulatory Innovation Tools (December 13, 2023)</small> ===
−
The CRI uses a two-step process to make funding decisions. The first step is an Expression of Interest to allow for an initial assessment of the alignment of a proposed experiment with the Fund before moving on to step two, the Proposal, where significant resources are put into the full development of an experiment.
+
For further insight into the eligibility criteria and examples of successful projects, please watch the webinar on [https://1drv.ms/v/s!AsrR00ThYnaKa3QDQ3B3xtblils?e=tcgaNX Regulatory Innovation Tools] from December 13, 2023. This webinar provides valuable information on how to meet the criteria and enhance your proposal.

| Using Experimentation in National Stakeholder Engagement to Advance Supply Chain Transparency (SCT) for Chemicals In Products
+
| Template for submitting your initial interest
−
| The experiment involves 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. Using a policy lab model will be a novel approach for ECCC and the experiment is to test whether this approach can enhance the policy outcomes in the context of a complex issue affecting a regulatory program and implicating many industries and stakeholders.

| The experiment involves testing whether a created IT tool can help the Competition Bureau to 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.

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.

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.

 +
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.

|Facilitating Industry Collaboration to Streamline Regulatory Pathways for Novel Fertilizers
 +
|Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) in collaboration with Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC), aims to streamline regulatory pathways for novel fertilizers in Canada. The project will test an industry-developed prioritization matrix to identify key ingredients for potential exemption from registration, potentially reducing the backlog of premarket applications. It will evaluate the effectiveness of allocating CFIA resources towards expanding the List of Materials (LOM) and explore industry collaboration in prioritizing materials and developing application packages. By comparing the costs and efficiency of adding materials to the LOM versus reviewing individual registration applications, the project seeks to inform strategies for reducing regulatory burdens while maintaining safety standards. This approach could lead to faster market access for novel fertilizers, supporting agricultural productivity and environmental sustainability in Canada.

|}
−
| This experiment 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.
