Canadian government to establish launch licensing framework
Posted: Sat, Jan 28, 2023, 9:57 AM ET (1457 GMT)
The Canadian government announced plans to set up a regulatory framework to enable commercial launches from the country. In a two-phase approach, Transport Canada said Jan. 20 will start considering requests to conduct commercial launches on a case-by-case basis within existing federal laws and regulations. Over the next three years, it will work with other government agencies to to develop a formal licensing framework for commercial launches that will include an interagency review. Government and industry officials said enabling commercial launches from Canada will create an "end-to-end" space industry in the country, rather than requiring companies to go elsewhere to launch satellites. Several Canadian companies are working on launch vehicles or spaceports, and the government said it has received inquiries from several other countries interested in launching from Canada.
