Nav Canada jet "buzzing" YVR?

Hi,

I was out with Mrs. Wooe and Little Wooe near the airport and saw this sleek looking CRJ zipping around in circles over Richmond and YVR airport. It was flying pretty low as well.

Getting out my long lens, i could see it was registered as "C-GNVC" with "Nav Canada" prominently painted on (looked pretty nice too). Had the words "Flight Inspection" painted on the engine cowling.

Can anyone illuminate me as to what it was doing? What is a "Flight Inspection" plane anyways?

Thanks!
