This regulation document appears to be a comprehensive federal regulation that has been entirely repealed. The document contains sections 1-203 organized into 10 Parts (I through X), but every single section is marked as repealed through SOR/2009-317, s. 104 and earlier amendments (SOR/95-188). There are no active provisions remaining.

This regulation is completely repealed and therefore obsolete. Keeping repealed text in the regulatory code creates unnecessary clutter, confusion forregulated parties, and administrative burden for maintaining deadwood. From a liberty perspective, there is zero justification for maintaining legally binding text that has no force; it only obscures the actual law and imposes compliance costs on those who must navigate the code. The prudent and principled action is to send this to the archives where it belongs.

Adjusts compensation amounts for merchant seamen under the Merchant Seamen Compensation Act, increasing various benefit levels and earnings thresholds to reflect inflation or cost-of-living changes.

Creates arbitrary price controls on compensation that distort labor markets and prevent private insurance solutions from emerging. The fixed amounts prevent market-based risk assessment and pricing, leading to inefficiencies and reduced supply of maritime services.

Requires trust and loan companies to disclose all fees for personal deposit accounts and specified services, with advance notice for fee increases and public display of fee schedules at branches, points of service, ATMs, and websites.

Imposes compliance costs and mandates affirmative disclosure that market forces would naturally provide through consumer demand and competition, representing paternalistic overreach beyond preventing fraud.

The document lists sections 1-88 across 13 parts, all marked as repealed by SOR/2009-315 and earlier regulations. No current substantive provisions remain in the provided text.

Already fully repealed; keeping defunct provisions creates legal clutter, confusion, and unnecessary research costs without any benefit.

This regulation was repealed in 2009, meaning it is no longer in effect and has no current legal force or impact on Canadian citizens, businesses, or markets.

Repealed regulations serve no purpose and create unnecessary legal complexity. Keeping obsolete regulations in the books wastes resources, creates confusion, and may inadvertently be referenced or misinterpreted. All repealed regulations should be removed to maintain a clean, efficient legal code.

Federal regulation authorizing the use of fish toxicants (pest control products) to destroy pest fish in specific provincial waters, prescribing which provincial officials may authorize deposits under conditions that the eradication will enhance fishing and not harm adjacent waters.

This regulation imposes a federal authorization monopoly that creates bureaucratic bottlenecks for urgent pest control, overrides local knowledge and property rights with centralized approval, and stifles market-based solutions. The 'enhance fishing' condition is paternalistic—if landowners or fisheries wish to control invasive species on their property, government permission is unnecessary interference. Private liability for cross-boundary damage would better safeguard adjacent waters without delays.

Establishes a registration system for interests in frontier petroleum lands, detailing procedures for the Registrar to record abstracts, maintain registers, handle documents, provide public access, and collect fees.

Without a secure, government-administered registry, property rights would be unclear, transaction costs would skyrocket, and investment in frontier petroleum resources would plummet. The system provides essential legal certainty that enables voluntary exchanges and financing, which would be difficult to replicate privately at scale due to the need for universal recognition and enforceability.

Repealed fee schedule for customs record requests under the Customs Act, charging $5 application fee plus per-page, microform, and computer processing fees for record copies and certifications.

Already repealed; even when active, this created barriers to information access, imposed complex transaction costs, and distorted incentives for both requesters and officials. User fees for essential government transparency services undermine liberty and due process.

This regulation prohibits provincial governments, their agents, and municipal governments from holding broadcasting licences, with limited exceptions for public interest and community programming diversity. It aims to prevent government control of broadcasting media while allowing some municipal exceptions under specific conditions.

Canadians would be worse off if this regulation was deleted because it prevents government monopolies over broadcasting media, ensuring diverse voices and preventing state propaganda. The regulation maintains media independence and prevents government entities from using broadcasting as a tool for political control, which would be difficult to achieve through market mechanisms alone.

This regulation mandates that air carriers operating non-regular charter flights with aircraft over 35,000 pounds must apply to airport managers at 25 listed airports to reserve apron and terminal facilities at least 30 days in advance (or as soon as possible after permit issuance). Airport managers must respond within two working days, either approving or proposing alternatives. The regulation creates a bureaucratic approval process for charter flight resource allocation at major Canadian airports.

This regulation replaces market-based coordination with centralized planning, imposing unnecessary barriers to charter operations. Airports have strong property rights incentives to manage capacity efficiently through voluntary contracts; the mandated 30-day notice and approval process reduces flexibility, increases compliance costs, and artificially constrains supply without achieving outcomes that private bargaining cannot better coordinate. The 25-airport list also creates geographic distortions in who must comply.

Fire prevention and management rules for Canada's national parks. Empowers superintendents to close areas and prohibit fires, restricts fire use to designated locations or permits, limits fuel storage to 250L, mandates safety practices, requires reporting of unattended fires, and establishes inspection/compliance orders for buildings.

Canadians would be worse off because national parks face catastrophic wildfire risk; this regulation achieves proactive prevention through clear rules and superintendent discretion during emergencies—far more effective than tort law's ex-post liability, which cannot prevent fires or enable rapid response to protect irreplaceable assets and public safety.

This document contains federal regulations that have been repealed, with no active provisions remaining. The regulations appear to be from various parts covering different subject areas, all of which have been officially rescinded by subsequent statutory orders.

All provisions have already been repealed, making this document obsolete regulatory text that serves no current legal purpose and only adds to regulatory burden.

This regulation implements UN Security Council resolutions by imposing an arms embargo, financial sanctions, and asset freezes on designated persons in Somalia, with exceptions for humanitarian aid and authorized security activities.

Canadians would be worse off if this regulation was deleted because it prevents Canadian entities from inadvertently funding terrorism, destabilizing Somalia, or violating international obligations. The regulation provides necessary legal mechanisms for compliance with UN Security Council resolutions while allowing humanitarian exceptions and due process for property owners.

Adjusts excise tax ratios for specific past dates (September 1983 and 1984) by setting fixed multipliers.

Keeping obsolete regulations increases legal complexity and hidden compliance costs; this regulation's dates expired in the 1980s and serves no current purpose.

This regulation document consists of two sections that have been repealed by SOR/2018-278, section 2. The original content is not provided, only the repealed status is indicated. The regulation is no longer in force and has no legal effect.

Regulation is already repealed and therefore obsolete. Its removal from the statute books has already occurred, indicating it was deemed unnecessary, ineffective, or problematic by previous regulatory review processes. Maintaining references to repealed regulations creates confusion and regulatory clutter without serving any legitimate purpose.
