What is your current salary?
NAV CANADA offers the salary range on most of their job listings. Examine what they offer, and contrast that to your current and projected professional worth. Be transparent about your most recent earnings and be prepared to back up any salary requests. Figure in any bonuses and your projected salary for the coming year based on previous increases you've received based on their frequency. Anything you can use to justify your professional worth counts. As they advertise on their career pages, they offer "Total Compensation - We offer industry-leading benefits. When you are a part of our team, you can count on favourable compensation, benefits, and pension packages, plus professional development and wellness programs designed to sustain you at every stage of your career."
"I earn a base salary of 78,000 plus a car allowance of 900/month and health benefits. I see that many of the health benefits offered by NAV CANADA match the benefits I am currently receiving. When looking at the salary range offered for this position, I would like to add that, in my current position, I receive a performance review and pay increase every six months. Additionally, I receive a bonus twice a year. I am open to discussing this further, but I wanted to volunteer this as a starting point."

This answer is excellent! You are clear about where you are now, and where you want to be. The interviewer should appreciate such a straightforward answer.

I earn a base salary of 52,000 with some allowances that equal 500 as well as health benefits. I see that NAV CANADA offers benefits that either match or beats my current employer. When looking at the salary range offered for this position I would like to note that in my current position, I have quarterly reviews and bonuses as well as a yearly increase. I'm open to discussing this further, but I thought I'd offer it as a starting point.

You're not under any obligation to share your current salary. You might instead provide a preferred salary range that is in line with the position/location, and then flip the question back at the interviewer and ask what they're looking to pay. Consider saving the specifics for the negotiation table.

Good start. Consider also sharing your desired salary range or total compensation package if appropriate for the role you're interviewing for.
