An AI solution from CIRRUS Intelligence showcased at the G7 Français
This project highlights the CIRRUS solution, designed to transform the management of safety events within the aviation industry's Safety Management System (SMS). Leveraging artificial intelligence, the technology reduces human involvement in incident analysis by up to 80%. Deployed in real-world operations at Nolinor Aviation, it has already cut some analysis processes from 40 hours to just 5, while minimizing human bias and standardizing data processing.
The solution arrives at a pivotal moment, as Canadian and U.S. regulators move toward requiring formal SMS integration across all aviation operations. It also meets FAA regulations and aligns with the global shift toward embedding safety systemically within the aviation ecosystem. CIRRUS positions itself as a robust technological response to growing compliance and performance demands.
"Being selected to represent Quebec innovation at the G7 Summit is an immense honor for our entire team. It's proof that a homegrown solution can have a real global impact. We strongly believe that applying artificial intelligence to concrete challenges—like aviation safety—can transform entire industries, and this project is a powerful example of that." – Olivier Richer, General Manager of CIRRUS Intelligence.
The strength of the project lies in the alliance of four complementary players. P3F, the originator of the concept, led coordination and technology integration. Strategic partner Nolinor Aviation provided a real-world operational environment to test the solution. Mila, a global leader in artificial intelligence, ensured the innovation was built on rigorous scientific foundations. The NRC, through its Industrial Research Assistance Program (IRAP-NRC), which supports technological innovation in Canadian SMEs, also played a key role, contributing $500,000 in funding and actively supporting the project's development.
CIRRUS Intelligence now leads the solution and is responsible for its commercialization, with the ambition of making it available across the aviation industry. This international recognition marks a major milestone for CIRRUS, as it rolls out its first large-scale project.
Additional initiatives are already underway, aimed at exporting Quebec's expertise in applied artificial intelligence to other critical sectors.

Liberal government hikes military pay by up to 20%
OTTAWA — Canadian Armed Forces personnel will get their largest pay increase in more than 25 years, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Friday, part of the federal government's plan to improve the military's capabilities and hit NATO's spending target. Carney said Ottawa will spend about $2 billion on the pay increases because soldiers and other military personnel are at the heart of protecting Canada's sovereignty and their pay should reflect the importance of their roles. The pay hikes, part of a $9 billion federal investment in the Canadian military that was announced in June, mean that every member of the Canadian armed forces will get a wage increase of as much as 20 per cent.

'We are strengthening our military, recognizing their sacrifice, and giving service members the resources, confidence and certainty they need to survive,' Carney said during a press conference at CFB Trenton, the eastern Ontario facility that serves as one of Canada's most important air force bases. The pay hikes includes increases of eight per cent for colonels and above and 13 per cent for lieutenant-colonels and below, and a 20 per cent hike in starting pay for privates in the regular force. Prior to this pay increase, privates' starting salary was barely above $43,000. The hike also includes a new pay increase based on length of military service, which will be part of an effort to align the pay of military personnel with other public servants. There will also be additional compensation to be announced over the next year for those who are asked to make frequent moves, serving in forest fires or natural disasters, in training for combat, top instructors at training schools, or separated from their families. Carney said the pay scale changes, which will affect both regular forces and reserves, will improve military recruitment and retention but that the pay hikes, retroactive to April 1, are also about fairness. Charlotte Duval-Lantoine, vice-president of Ottawa Operations at the Canadian Global Affairs Institute, said the pay hikes are an 'unequivocal' step forward because military pay had fallen behind. When asked if hiking military pay was a better use of defence spending than buying equipment, Duval-Lantoine said both are necessary. 'It's nice to have equipment, but what's the point if you don't have enough people?' On the political side, the pay increases satisfy the Liberals' campaign promise to boost military wages, while also moving Canada closer to fulfilling a promise to meet the NATO target that each member spend at least two per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) on defence spending. Carney said Canada will hit that mark this year, five years earlier than previously stated. Ottawa has also promised to spend at least 5 per cent of GDP on defence spending by 2035, a commitment that will require a massive financial infusion. That will mean hefty investments in military equipment, likely including new fighter jets, investing in the defence industry, and spending on infrastructure such as airports, ports, telecom networks and emergency systems that can serve both defence and civilian needs. Those infrastructure investments are expected to account for about 30 per cent of the five per cent commitment. Carney repeated Friday his argument that the world is more dangerous than in years past and that technological gains mean that some of those threats, including those that involve foreign adversaries, are no longer constrained by distance. The emphasis on defence spending is also part of a broader strategy to try to rely less on the United States for defence and trade and increase the emphasis on other international relationships because of what Carney has called 'a darker world.'

LILLEY: Mark Carney needs to act big to turn around rising unemployment

Create Account The quick and easy answer is to blame Donald Trump and the tariffs; the deeper answer is much more worrying. It's a sign that Mark Carney needs to start moving faster to unleash the Canadian economy, because right now it is sputtering. A year ago, Canada's unemployment rate was at 5.5%, by October of last year before Trump was re-elected it had risen to 6.5%, and it now sits at 6.9%. The only reason it isn't higher is that many people have given up looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed. We have added more than 1.2 million people to the labour force over the last year, primarily through immigration and work permits for foreign students. In that same time, the labour participation rate fell while the number of people who are registered as unemployed grew to 1.56 million – 379,000 higher than a year ago.

Economic forecasts from firms like Oxford predict the national unemployment rate could rise as high as 7.6% this year while economic growth flatlines or contracts. Read More Is Canada in a recession? While right now the answer is technically no, we aren't growing. Economic forecasts are pointing to a contraction in the second and third quarters – a mild contraction but a contraction nonetheless. Compare that to the American economy which just posted 3% annualized growth in the second quarter and is projected to grow at 2.5% in the third quarter. Their unemployment rate currently sits at 4.2% – and while our 6.9% unemployment rate is measured differently, it would come in at 5.8% if measured using the same parameters as the Americans. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Clearly our economy needs help. What has Carney been doing so far? Simply making announcements, holding meetings, but there is nothing concrete. This isn't what he promised. 'We will need to think big and act bigger. We will need to do things previously thought impossible at speeds we haven't seen in generations,' Carney said on election night echoing comments he made during the campaign. He hasn't been able to secure a trade and tariff deal with Trump and instead tariffs have increased. Canada is currently the only G7 country not covered by some kind of deal and now Carney can't even get Trump to return his calls. RECOMMENDED VIDEO His supporters might say he hasn't been in office long enough, but it was Carney who set July 21 and then Aug. 1 deadlines. It was Carney who said he knew Trump, knew how to handle him and knew how to negotiate. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Compare that record to Stephen Harper who had a deal on softwood lumber within 90 days of being elected in 2006. Carney hit 100 days since the election this past Tuesday, he became Prime Minister almost five months ago. Instead of thinking big and acting bigger, Carney is proposing little and moving slowly in terms of unleashing our economy. Meanwhile, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said this week that his party will introduce the Canadian Sovereignty Act when Parliament resumes in September and he's encouraging the Liberals to steal his ideas. The proposal from the Conservatives includes the kind of big and bold ideas that Carney should be talking about, so let's hope the Liberals do take these policies. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The Conservatives are calling for the government to scrap the industrial carbon tax, which foreign firms selling into Canada don't have to pay. They also want the government to repeal Bill C-69, which blocks resource development, drop the oil and gas cap, and end the West coast tanker ban, among other ideas. RECOMMENDED VIDEO These measures, along with ending the Trudeau-era EV mandate for new vehicles would put Canada's economy on a solid footing, set it up on a path for success. Just recently, Enbridge and TC Energy, two of Canada's largest energy firms, said most of their capital investment over the next year would be headed stateside. Tariffs were part of the decision, but uncertainty tied to regulations, like the ones Poilievre is calling to be repealed, are the other part. Same with Bell's decision to invest $5 billion in the United States due to government policy in Canada. Canada's economy has incredible potential but for too long we've been getting in our own way with needless, ideologically driven regulation. If Carney is serious about thinking big and acting bigger, he should adopt Poilievre's ideas. That would see investment soar, Canada's economy grow and unemployment fall. If he choses to continue to play small ball, none of those things will happen and unemployment will continue to creep up. blilley@ Toronto Blue Jays Tennis Editorials Olympics Ontario
