The federal government initiates the bulk of aerial photography in Canada; the Interdepartmental Committee on Air Surveys (ICAS) supervises and determines, through a bidding process, which contractor will do the photography and sets forth the specifications to be followed. ICAS coordinates all federal aerial photography and works together with the provinces to align federal and provincial programs. ICAS prevents duplication, establishes priorities and, in general, ensures that maximum benefit is derived from each flight. 2, record 1, English, - Interdepartmental%20Committee%20on%20Air%20Surveys

[Le gouvernement fédéral] entreprend les démarches nécessaires en ce qui concerne la majeure partie de la production de photographies aériennes au Canada. Ensuite, c'est au Comité interministériel des levés aériens qu'il incombe de superviser et de choisir, à l'aide d'un processus de sélection, l'entrepreneur qui se chargera de la photographie; puis de présenter les spécifications à suivre. Le Comité interministériel des levés aériens coordonne toute la photographie aérienne, et travaille conjointement avec les provinces afin de veiller à ce qu'il n'y ait pas de divergence entre les programmes des gouvernements [provinciaux] et fédéral. Le Comité interministériel des levés aériens prévient la duplication, établit les priorités et, généralement, fait en sorte que le maximum de profit soit tiré de chaque vol. 2, record 1, French, - Comit%C3%A9%20interminist%C3%A9riel%20des%20lev%C3%A9s%20a%C3%A9riens
