Seven sections from a regulation, all marked as repealed or revoked by subsequent amendments (SOR/2009-231 and SOR/79-897). No substantive regulatory text remains in force.

This regulation is entirely repealed/revoked and has zero legal effect. Retaining repealed sections in consolidated regulations creates unnecessary clutter and confusion. The repeal indicates the original provisions were either flawed, unnecessary, or replaced by better alternatives. Keeping dead letter on the books violates the principles of legal clarity and minimal state intervention.

These regulations have been repealed and are no longer in effect. They were removed from the Canadian regulatory framework in 2009 and 1998 respectively.

Regulations are already repealed and obsolete. Keeping them in the regulatory framework serves no purpose and creates unnecessary complexity in the legal code.

This document shows three sections (1-3) that were repealed by SOR/2009-230, section 1. The actual content of the original regulations is not visible in this excerpt—only the repeal notices remain.

The regulation is already repealed and therefore irrelevant to current law. Any remaining legal effect would be zero, so removal from active statutes is appropriate. The original regulation appears to have been flawed enough to warrant repeal by a later order, reflecting the negative unintended consequences that often justify deregulation.

Regulations 1-4 were repealed in 2009 by SOR/2009-230, s. 1, rendering them obsolete and no longer in force.

Already repealed and obsolete; no longer applicable to current regulatory framework.

Mandates that offshore oil and gas installations operating in federal waters obtain a certificate of fitness from one of five approved foreign classification societies. The certification requires compliance with a comprehensive set of existing safety, diving, and drilling regulations, and includes ongoing inspection and maintenance obligations. Certificates are valid for up to five years and restrict operations to specific geographic regions.

Maintains a government-sanctioned monopoly over safety certification, imposing unnecessary costs and barriers to entry. Market-based alternatives—such as insurance requirements, liability rules, and competing private certifiers—would achieve safer outcomes more efficiently and adaptively. The regulation's prescriptive approach reduces innovation, inflates energy costs, and stifles the offshore sector's contribution to Canadian competitiveness.

Canadian Computer Reservation Systems (CRS) Regulations ensure fair, neutral, and non-discriminatory display of airline schedules, fares, and availability across reservation systems, preventing system vendors from favoring certain carriers and ensuring equal access for all participating airlines.

These regulations impose unnecessary bureaucratic constraints on market competition, increasing costs for airlines and system vendors while limiting innovation in booking technology. The free market naturally incentivizes fair treatment and transparency without government intervention, and consumers benefit from competitive pricing and service improvements that emerge from unrestricted competition.

This regulation has been repealed and contains no active provisions. All sections are marked as repealed by SOR/2009-317, s. 105.

The regulation has already been repealed and contains no active provisions. Keeping repealed regulations serves no purpose and creates unnecessary regulatory clutter.

All provisions (sections 1-77) are marked '[Repealed, SOR/2009-316, s. 105]', indicating the entire regulation has been repealed. The original subject matter is not provided, but the complete repeal suggests it was obsolete or ineffective.

The regulation is already fully repealed, rendering it legally inert. Maintaining repealed statutes creates legal uncertainty and administrative burden for no benefit. The comprehensive repeal indicates the original regulation was imposing costs without achieving its intended goals, thus its removal enhances liberty, reduces regulatory clutter, and improves Canada's competitiveness.

This regulation contains provisions that have already been repealed by SOR/2010-1, section 1, making it obsolete and no longer in effect.

The regulation has been officially repealed and is no longer in force, representing unnecessary regulatory clutter that serves no current purpose and could confuse legal interpretation.

A regulation consisting of 9 sections, all of which have been repealed by SOR/2009-170, s. 1. There is no active regulatory content; the entire instrument is legally defunct.

Already repealed; no active regulation exists. The document is obsolete and carries no legal force or effect.

These Regulations implement Canada's dairy supply management system through a quota regime controlling interprovincial and export trade. The Canadian Dairy Commission sets national milk requirements, while provincial Boards allocate federal quotas via the Canadian Milk Supply Management Committee. Only licensed producers with quota allocations may market dairy products across provinces or for export, creating a centrally planned system of production and marketing controls.

This regulation artificially restricts supply through government quota allocation, driving dairy prices 2-3x higher than world markets. The quota system creates insurmountable barriers to entry, suppresses competition, and violates free trade between provinces. Unseen consequences include: massive wealth transfer from consumers to quota holders, stifled innovation, black markets, international trade disputes, and misallocation of agricultural resources. Supply management goals can be achieved through market mechanisms without sacrificing consumer welfare and economic freedom.

Seven sections of a regulation, all repealed by SOR/2006-78. No substantive provisions are provided; only repeal notations appear.

Already repealed; maintaining dead-letter statutes wastes resources, creates legal uncertainty, and risks erroneous enforcement. Its repeal indicates original flaws that would harm Canadians if restored.

Repealed regulation with no current content or purpose

Regulation has already been repealed and contains no operative provisions, making it obsolete and unnecessary to retain

These regulations establish a system for communal fishing licences for aboriginal organizations, allowing designated persons to fish under specific conditions for conservation and management purposes in Canadian fisheries waters.

Creates a two-tiered fishing system that restricts individual liberty and property rights in fishing, while potentially perpetuating racial classifications in law. The regulations add bureaucratic overhead without clear evidence of superior conservation outcomes compared to individual property rights and market-based approaches.

This document is a regulatory index showing nearly all sections (1-203) have been repealed by various Statutory Orders (primarily SOR/2009-316, s. 104). There is no substantive regulatory text remaining—only a skeletal framework listing repealed provisions.

This is already fully repealed; maintaining an empty shell of a regulation serves no purpose and creates unnecessary legal clutter. The document should be formally deleted from the statutes to reduce confusion and administrative burden.
