The document contains only references to repealed sections 1-5 of a regulation, citing SI/2009-104, s. 5. No active regulatory content remains; it is merely a list of provisions that have been officially repealed.

The sections are already repealed and thus have no legal effect. Keeping references to repealed provisions adds unnecessary complexity without any regulatory benefit.

Three federal regulations that were repealed in 2009 under SI/2009-103, section 5, with no stated purpose or mechanism in the provided text.

Already repealed in 2009 as obsolete regulations, indicating they were no longer serving their intended purpose or had been superseded by other policies.

This regulation provides GST/HST remission to specified First Nations in Manitoba for costs related to acquiring treaty entitlement land, including land purchases, third-party interests, and tangible property on that land. It's tied to specific agreements and has acreage limits, with claims required within two years and no double-dipping condition.

This regulation addresses historical Crown treaty obligations where land was never provided as promised. While it creates a tax preference, it's narrowly tailored to enable First Nations to exercise treaty rights with minimal market distortion. The benefits of fulfilling historic covenants and supporting Indigenous self-determination through land acquisition outweigh the modest fiscal cost and differential treatment, especially as it's bounded by specific agreements and acreage caps.

These regulations have already been repealed as of SOR/2009-110, s. 5, making them obsolete and no longer in effect.

Already repealed in 2009, rendering them obsolete. No current regulatory burden exists, but historical repeal indicates these provisions were deemed unnecessary or harmful.

Comprehensive traffic code for Canadian airports (excluding land-side areas), governing motor vehicles, pedestrians, animals, equipment, and parking through detailed rules, permits, fees, signs, and enforcement with criminal penalties including fines and imprisonment.

Imposes criminal penalties for minor infractions (parking, pedestrian violations), duplicates provincial traffic laws, creates an expansive permit and fee system, and centralizes control that should reside with airport operators. Treats airport users as subjects rather than customers, increasing costs and administrative burdens while suppressing competition and innovation. Safety objectives could be achieved through minimal federal standards focused solely on aircraft movement areas, combined with private ordering, liability rules, and property rights.

This appears to be a set of repealed regulations from SOR/2009-30, section 1, with all sections marked as repealed.

These regulations are already repealed and obsolete, indicating they were deemed unnecessary or harmful to remove. Keeping repealed regulations serves no purpose and maintains unnecessary legal complexity.

All 27 sections of this regulation are marked as repealed by SOR/2009-95, s. 1. The regulation has no current legal force or effect.

Already repealed and obsolete. Maintaining dead-letter provisions creates legal uncertainty and administrative clutter; its original enactment and subsequent repeal indicate a flawed regulation that restricted liberty and prosperity without offsetting benefits.

Establishes a mandatory pension plan for government annuity sales agents, funded by 5% of commissions and supplemented by taxpayer contributions, providing retirement, disability, and survivor benefits based on years of service.

This regulation creates an unjustified government pension scheme for employees selling annuities—a function that could be fully privatized. Taxpayers subsidize special-interest benefits that distort labor markets, create intergenerational transfers, and remove agents' incentive to seek superior private retirement options. Eliminating it would allow these government employees to participate in the same retirement systems as private-sector workers, removing market distortions.

This regulation appears to be a repealed set of provisions, with all sections (1-13) marked as repealed by SOR/2009-225, section 20. The original purpose and mechanisms are not provided in the available text.

The regulation has already been repealed, making it obsolete. Repealed regulations should be removed from the books to eliminate regulatory clutter and reduce compliance costs for businesses and citizens who no longer need to navigate outdated provisions.

Establishes Fishing Zone 6 in Canadian Arctic waters, defining its boundaries using geodesic lines and 200-nautical-mile limits from territorial sea baselines, while excluding internal waters and territorial sea.

This regulation establishes clear maritime boundaries for Canadian fishing jurisdiction in the Arctic, which is essential for managing fish stocks, preventing international disputes, and protecting Canada's sovereign rights over its marine resources. Without these defined zones, there would be uncertainty about fishing rights, potential overfishing, and conflicts with other nations operating in Arctic waters.

Establishes Fishing Zones 4 and 5 as specific maritime areas adjacent to Canada's Atlantic and Pacific coasts, defining their boundaries through geographic coordinates and establishing jurisdictional limits for Canadian fishing authority.

Canadians would be worse off if this regulation was deleted because it provides essential legal clarity for maritime boundaries and fishing jurisdiction. Without these defined zones, Canada would lack clear authority to manage and protect its fishing resources, leading to potential international disputes, overfishing by foreign vessels, and inability to enforce conservation measures that protect fish stocks for Canadian fishermen and coastal communities.

This regulation establishes the exchange rate methodology for determining Canadian dollar amounts of foreign currency deposits for deposit insurance purposes under the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act. It specifies using the latest exchange rate at which the federal member institution offered to buy the foreign currency before the determination date, and came into force on October 15, 1999.

Canadians would be worse off if this regulation was deleted because it provides a clear, objective standard for calculating deposit insurance payouts in foreign currencies. Without this rule, determining the Canadian dollar value of foreign deposits would be inconsistent and potentially subject to manipulation, undermining the reliability of deposit insurance protection that Canadians depend on.

This regulation establishes a $20,000 fee for federal member institutions applying to accept deposits without being a member institution of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation. It took effect on October 15, 1999.

Creates unnecessary barrier to entry for financial institutions, reducing competition and consumer choice. The fee discourages innovation and limits access to banking services without providing clear benefits to Canadians.

These Copyright Regulations establish administrative requirements for libraries, archives, museums, and educational institutions when making copies under specific copyrighted work exceptions. Key provisions include record-keeping (name, date, work identification) for copies made under sections 30.2/30.21, requirements to inform patrons about usage restrictions, and mandatory copyright warning notices on photocopiers. The regulations operationalize copyright exceptions while simultaneously enabling copyright owners to monitor and enforce their rights.

These regulations impose compliance costs (record-keeping, mandatory warnings) that chill legitimate research and private study while reinforcing copyright enforcement apparatus. Copyright itself is a government-granted monopoly violating property rights by restricting use of non-rivalrous ideas. In a free market, creators would rely on voluntary mechanisms rather than legal threats. The administrative burden diverts library resources from serving the public and embodies the unseen cost of institutionalized surveillance of information flow.

Establishes distribution requirements for English and French books with exclusive Canadian rights, including delivery timelines, pricing formulas, and special order provisions to protect exclusive distributors' rights under the Copyright Act.

Creates artificial trade barriers that restrict book imports, inflate prices through mandated markups, and protect incumbent distributors at the expense of consumers and smaller booksellers. The complex pricing formulas and exclusive rights distort market competition and reduce supply of affordable books.
