Seven sections all marked as repealed by SOR/2016-172, section 6. No substantive regulatory text remains.
Regulation already repealed; no active provisions to evaluate. The original regulation has been nullified by subsequent amendment (SOR/2016-172), rendering this text legally obsolete and without current effect.
This regulation has already been repealed in 2016, indicating it was deemed unnecessary or obsolete by the government itself.
Already repealed in 2016, demonstrating government recognition of its obsolescence. No need to restore redundant regulations.
Softwood lumber export quota regulation allocating export rights among producers by province based on historical volumes and production capacity.
Export quotas distort markets, create artificial scarcity, reduce competition, and impose compliance costs. The regulation favors established producers over new entrants, creates regional trade barriers within Canada, and ultimately raises lumber prices for Canadian consumers and construction.
These are repealed regulations from the Canada Elections Act that were superseded by legislative amendments in 2000. They no longer have any legal force or effect.
Already repealed by operation of law in 2000 - completely obsolete with no current regulatory effect.
Temporary fee remission for export certificates (2009-2011) when inspections performed by accredited veterinarians, reducing user fees by amount exceeding $75.00.
Obsolete regulation expired in 2011; original design created artificial preference for accredited providers, restricting competition and increasing costs through credentialing barriers that distort market supply of inspection services.
Canada-Poland Social Security Agreement establishing coordination of pension benefits, allowing totalization of creditable periods, and determining jurisdiction for social security contributions for workers moving between countries.
This agreement prevents double taxation and ensures Canadian and Polish workers receive pension benefits they earned. Without it, Canadians working in Poland would face complex dual contributions and risk losing retirement benefits from both countries.
This Order withdraws specific territorial lands in the Northwest Territories from disposal to facilitate the eventual addition to the Salt River Reserve, covering both surface and subsurface rights from enactment until August 31, 2014, while preserving existing mineral, petroleum, and quarrying rights through detailed exemptions.
This regulation facilitates fulfillment of Indigenous land claims and treaty obligations while respecting vested private rights. The temporary, targeted withdrawal of Crown lands enables reserve expansion without expropriating existing claims, promoting reconciliation while maintaining legal certainty for current mineral and petroleum rights holders. Deleting it would undermine negotiated settlements and create instability in land administration, harming both Indigenous communities and investors who rely on clear Crown land policies.
This regulation governs the issuance of Certificates of Age and Origin for Canadian distilled spirits intended for export. It requires verification of records from producers, marking of storage containers, and sets specific rules about labeling based on the percentage of imported spirits in blends. Products must contain at least 75% Canadian alcohol to use 'Canadian' designations, and whiskies with >9.090% imported spirits cannot be labeled as Rye/Canadian Whisky.
The regulation imposes arbitrary government controls on labeling and production that distort market incentives, increase compliance costs, and restrict innovation. The 75% and 9.090% thresholds are economically baseless and prevent producers from optimally blending spirits. Foreign markets' requirements can be met through private certification rather than government gatekeeping, making this bureaucratic layer unnecessary. The unseen costs—reduced competition, higher prices, and stifled product development—outweigh any perceived benefits of standardized labeling.
Authorizes one-time $20,000 ex-gratia payments to individuals eligible under two 2006 head tax redress orders who missed the application deadline (March 31, 2008, with extension to March 31, 2009 for extenuating circumstances). Minister has discretion to approve applications and determine beneficiaries. Payments do not constitute admission of Crown liability.
Obsolete regulation with application deadlines expired 15+ years ago. It serves no current purpose but adds regulatory clutter, creates precedent for time-limited ex-gratia schemes, and consumes administrative resources for maintaining dead letter legislation. The historical redress issue was already resolved through the primary 2006 programs; keeping expired provisions only invites future political revival of settled matters and increases compliance burden for zero public benefit.
Procedural rules governing summary conviction appeals in the Nova Scotia Supreme Court, including filing timelines (25 days), required documentation (notice of appeal, appeal book, transcripts, briefs), motion procedures, and modifications to general criminal appeal rules.
Canadians would be worse off because without these standardized procedures, summary conviction appeals would become unpredictable, inconsistent, and potentially inaccessible to those without resources. The rule ensures orderly, timely review of potentially erroneous convictions through clear requirements that all parties must follow. Achieving the same outcomes without it would be difficult—ad hoc judicial determinations would increase litigation over process, create uncertainty about obligations, and risk denying meritorious appeals due to procedural confusion. The modest burdens (strict timelines, transcript requirements) are necessary to protect the right to appeal and ensure courts receive complete records efficiently.
Provides procedures for seeking judicial review of criminal proceedings and imprisonment via prerogative writs (mandamus, certiorari, prohibition, habeas corpus), including filing deadlines and applicable rules.
Canadians would be worse off without these mechanisms: they'd lack any procedural avenue to challenge unlawful detention or criminal proceedings, enabling unchecked state power. The rules achieve this protection through specific, time-bound processes that would be difficult to replicate, safeguarding fundamental liberty against arbitrary government action.
The Minister of Environment recommends referring the Northern Fur Seal's 'threatened' status back to COSEWIC for reconsideration based on new scientific evidence: the species represents a single population across international rookeries, pup counts exaggerate population decline, and actual decline rate is lower than previously reported.
Deleting this referral would perpetuate a potentially erroneous 'threatened' designation based on flawed methodology, imposing unnecessary regulatory burdens on fisheries, shipping, and coastal activities while misallocating conservation resources. This mechanism ensures scientific accuracy and self-correction, essential for evidence-based regulation that minimizes unseen costs.
Withdraws specific territorial lands in Nunavut from disposal to establish Ukkusiksalik National Park (20,558 km²), with exceptions for pre-existing mineral/petroleum rights and Inuit-owned land; time-limited to October 1, 2014.
Regulation expired on October 1, 2014 and includes a repeal provision; it is no longer in force and imposes no current costs or restrictions.
These regulations were previously repealed in 2009, indicating they were deemed obsolete or unnecessary by the government at that time.
Already repealed in 2009, demonstrating they were unnecessary and provided no value to Canadians. Repeal indicates regulatory burden without benefit.
This document lists five sections (1-5) that have all been repealed by SI/2009-94, s. 4. There is no active regulatory content.
