The Canadian Aviation Regulation Advisory Council (CARAC) is the main public consultative body involved in creating and amending the Canadian Aviation Regulations and is a joint effort of Transport Canada and the Canadian aviation industry.
The Council holds one plenary meeting per year. The rest of the council's business is conducted through nine Technical Committees, the meetings of which are open to the public. The procedures used by CARAC are governed by the CARAC Management Charter. Technical Committees may also form Working Groups consisting of subject matter experts, to provide reports about areas that require detailed study.
The nine committees correspond to the eight main parts of the CARs, with Airworthiness being divided into two different Technical Committees.

These include the Air Transport Association of Canada, Canadian Airports Council, Canadian Business Aviation Association, Canadian Owners and Pilots Association and the National Airlines Council of Canada.
