What agency is responsible for approvals regarding the use of rocket motors?

The correct answer is that Transport Canada is responsible for approvals regarding the use of rocket motors. In Canada, Transport Canada oversees and regulates the use of airspace and related activities, which includes the operation of rocket motors. They ensure that activities involving rocketry adhere to safety protocols and comply with aviation regulations.

Natural Resources Canada primarily focuses on energy sources, natural resources management, and related policies, but it does not regulate the usage of rocket motors or the activities associated with rocketry. Therefore, while they handle various aspects of resource sustainability, they do not play a direct role in rocketry operations.

Entities like the Canadian Launch Safety Office might handle the operational safety of launches, but they do not have the overarching regulatory authority that Transport Canada possesses. Similarly, the National Aeronautics Association is an American organization and does not apply to Canadian rocketry and its regulations.
