The Canadian aerospace industry is diverse, ranging from multinational companies that develop and manufacture entire aircraft, to sole proprietorships offering engineering services, to owners who wish to modify or repair their aircraft. Collectively, these groups rely on Transport Canada (TC) to review and approve aeronautical product designs. In Canada, aeronautical product designs must be approved by TC , acting on behalf of the Minister of Transport. TC reviews aeronautical product designs to ensure that these designs meet Canadian and international standards. TC approval enables the use of these products in Canada and their exportation to the global market.

Updated marine cargo fees will lessen the burden these costs place on the Canadian taxpayer. Updated fees will also allow TC to ensure that the Marine Safety Cargo Inspection Program continues to have the resources it needs to provide timely and high value service to industry.
