Mandate


An advisory body to the Ministers of Environment and National  Defence, the mandate of the Institute is:  

• to focus on the protection of the environment, and within the concept of sustainable development, to support the viability of the military flight training program; 
• to provide independent verification of environmental effects as well as expertise and advice  in structuring adequate monitoring and mitigation measures; and to foster a level of trust among all groups affected by the military training program. 

In the event that studies show significant impacts are occurring that cannot be mitigated or justified,  the Institute may recommend that appropriate action be taken to address the situation, including that military flying activities be limited or phased out.
