I still think it wouldn't hurt to look at transferring tax points to the provinces and holding the feds accountable for their clear areas of responsibility.

RCAF retains airworthiness responsibilities. But operational and technical authorities can now be held by non-RCAF organizations. Even airworthiness and flight safety responsibilities can be delegated with appropriate training and procedural compliance.
too true and with less than admirable results. Transport Canada delegated ATC supervision to NavCan. There are now very few experts in Transport that can judge whether a change in policy is safe or not. As a result they lean on the advise of the organization that they are supposed to police, resulting in a less safe system. The same is true of flight checks and pilot safety. Airlines now do their own policing.
