Abstract:	Canadian frequency metrology services and Canada's official time services are both provided by the National Research Council of Canada (NRC). NRC designs, builds, and operates a group of laboratory frequency standards, both primary cesium clocks and hydrogen masers. It disseminates b the results as both time and traceable frequency. NRC has an active research and development program in time and frequency technology: on frequency standards (microwave and optical) and on calibration and dissemination techniques with complete uncertainty budgets. Its present and planned capabilities are presented and discussed.
