What Canada Space Agency Act 1990 (SC 1990, c. 13) - Canadian Space Policy and Regulatory Framework requires
The Space Agency Act (SC 1990, c. 13) established the Canadian Space Agency (CSA / Agence spatiale canadienne) as the federal institution responsible for Canada's civil space programme, including astronaut training, satellite development, and coordination of Canada's participation in international space activities. Canada's commercial space licensing is handled by Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) under the Radiocommunication Act for spectrum matters and under Transport Canada or CSA for launch licensing - Canada does not have a standalone Space Activities Act but regulates commercial space through multiple framework statutes.
