The Canadian Positioning, Navigation and Timing Board (PNTB) is made up of subject matter experts and executives from the Government of Canada and Canada's air navigation service provider who have a shared interest in satellite-based positioning, navigation and timing. The PNTB was established in 2011 to serve as a central point of contact for the coordination of civilian (non-military/defence) positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) issues at the federal level. As well, the PNTB is the central body for the exchange of information with foreign governments and organizations on civilian PNT matters. 3, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Positioning%2C%20Navigation%20and%20Timing%20Board
