We expect this funding will be made available to TBS in late fall. The purpose of this call-out is to begin identifying and approving projects beginning this fiscal year as soon as possible – this will allow TBS to avoid delays in disbursing funding to regulators once the funding is made available. A list of RCF supported projects can be found in the [[CRI Supported Projects|CRI Supported Project]] tab.

|Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)
|A plan to address Canada-specific data gaps on residue left over from drone-based pesticide application
|AAFC will lead a study to compare pesticide residue levels on crops applied using drones to traditional equipment that are approved for pesticide application. The results of the study will help determine the regulatory equivalency of drone-based applications to ground based and airplane-based applications to inform future regulatory decision-making.

|Transport Canada (TC)
|Expanding operational capabilities of Canadian air operators in winter weather conditions
|This project proposed by TC aims to identify and leverage best practices from other jurisdictions such as the US and Europe to improve aviation requirements where the operational capabilities of Canadian air operators could be safely expanded in winter conditions to increase international alignment and competitiveness. This includes improving TC’s regulatory guidance through an informed and data-driven policy.

|Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)
|Streamlining the economic analysis requirements of the Canadian impact assessment process
|NRCan and the Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) propose to lead an interdepartmental working group to develop guidance for project proponents regarding requirements and coordinate Government of Canada (GoC) review of the economic analysis under the Impact Assessment Act (IAA) and Information and Management of Time Limits Regulations.

|Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)
|Mining activity tool to help permits for mining projects
|NRCan proposes to investigate the use of Rules as Code (RaC) to develop guidance material to help the mining industry navigate the permitting process. This guidance material needs to be developed in an automated way, be always up to date, consistent, accurate, and maintained with minimal effort.
