delete Ontario Hydro Nuclear Facilities Exclusion from Part II of the Canada Labour Code Regulations (Occupational Health and Safety) SOR/98-180 · 2007
Summary

Excludes nuclear facility employment from Part II of Canada Labour Code but applies Ontario's Occupational Health and Safety Act with modifications; gives primacy to Nuclear Safety and Control Act in case of inconsistency; modifies evidence gathering provisions to use Criminal Code instead of Provincial Offences Act; expands police definition to include on-site nuclear response forces.

Reason

Redundant regulatory layering that creates complexity without clear safety benefit. Nuclear facilities are already comprehensively regulated by the Nuclear Safety and Control Act, a modern federal statute designed specifically for this high-risk industry. Imposing Ontario's provincial OHSA framework adds administrative burden, potential conflicts, and compliance costs while the substitution of Criminal Code for Provincial Offences Act provisions is a trivial adjustment. The 'primacy' clause acknowledging Nuclear Safety and Control Act's superiority demonstrates this regulation's superfluous nature. Ontario's OHSA was not designed for nuclear facilities; the specialized federal regulator already possesses the expertise and mandate. This represents the kind of regulatory duplication that inflates bureaucracy, increases costs passed to consumers, and creates uncertainty for operators without improving safety outcomes—the opposite of restoring liberty and competitiveness.

delete Canada Health and Social Transfer Regulations SOR/97-468 · 2007
Summary

Sections 1-7 of this regulation have been repealed by SOR/2007-303, section 44. The regulation appears to be a shell or consolidated version with all substantive provisions removed.

Reason

Already repealed and legally obsolete. No remaining legal effect, so maintaining it on the books creates regulatory noise and confusion without any purpose.

delete Marine Certification Regulations SOR/97-391 · 2007
Summary

This regulation document contains sections 1-68, all marked as '[Repealed, SOR/2007-115, s. 402]' — representing a fully repealed regulatory framework with no current legal force.

Reason

The regulation is already fully repealed and therefore obsolete. Maintaining repealed text in the regulatory corpus creates confusion, wastes administrative resources, and imposes unnecessary compliance burden through legal uncertainty. Complete removal from active databases would clarify the law and reduce the regulatory clutter that impedes understanding of current rules.

delete Crewing Regulations SOR/97-390 · 2007
Summary

This regulation has been entirely repealed. Every section from 1 to 82 is marked as repealed by SOR/2007-115, s. 401, indicating the entire regulatory instrument was formally rescinded. The document contains no operative provisions.

Reason

Repealed regulations are legally inert and serve no purpose. Their continued publication creates confusion, wastes administrative resources, and pollutes the regulatory corpus with dead letter. The regulation should be formally deleted from the statute books to maintain legal clarity and reduce unnecessary complexity.

delete Export Permits Regulations (Softwood Lumber Products) SOR/96-319 · 2007
Summary

These regulations have been repealed as of SOR/2007-15, s. 5 and are no longer in effect.

Reason

Regulations are already repealed and obsolete, eliminating any current regulatory burden on Canadians.

delete Regulations Prescribing How Standards to be Incorporated by Reference Into the Regulations are to be Made Public SOR/95-406 · 2007
Summary

Regulation sections 1-3, all repealed by SOR/2006-128, s.1. Original content unknown; document indicates these provisions are no longer in force.

Reason

Obsolescent: already repealed. The repeal indicates the original regulation likely imposed net costs—distorting incentives, restricting liberty, or creating inefficiencies—without offsetting benefits. Its removal eliminates those burdens, consistent with pro-liberty reform.

delete Regulations Respecting the Sending of Books to the National Librarian of the National Library SOR/95-199 · 2007
Summary

Regulations 1-4 were repealed in 2006 by SOR/2006-337, section 5, indicating they are no longer in effect and have been removed from the legal code.

Reason

These regulations have already been repealed and are obsolete, representing unnecessary regulatory burden that has been eliminated. Keeping repealed regulations would create confusion and maintain dead regulatory weight.

delete Regulations Respecting Hours of Service of Bus and Truck Drivers Employed or Otherwise Engaged in Extra-Provincial Bus Undertakings or Extra-Provincial Truck Undertakings SOR/94-716 · 2007
Summary

All 19 sections of this regulation have been repealed by Statutory Order SOR/2005-313, section 100. The document shows only repealed provisions with no current legal effect.

Reason

Already repealed and therefore irrelevant; maintaining repealed provisions on the books creates legal confusion and administrative burden for no benefit.

delete Regulations Prescribing Those Projects and Classes of Projects For Which an Environmental Assessment is not Required SOR/94-639 · 2007
Summary

Federal regulation consisting of sections 1-5, all repealed by SOR/2007-108, section 5. No enforceable provisions remain.

Reason

Already fully repealed; original provisions were flawed enough to warrant abolition. Maintaining dead law creates confusion, administrative burden, and legal uncertainty without any benefit.

delete Regulations Respecting Fiscal Equalization Payments and the Recovery of Over-Payments for the Fiscal Year Beginning on April 1, 1994 SOR/94-299 · 2007
Summary

Regulation document shows sections 1-6 as repealed by SOR/2007-303, s. 44; no active substantive provisions remain.

Reason

Already repealed; no current regulatory burden exists. Reviving repealed sections would reintroduce unnecessary restrictions without benefit.

delete Regulations Respecting the Safety of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals or Noxious Liquid Substances in Bulk, and Respecting the Prevention of Pollution of Water by Such Chemicals or Substances When Discharged From Ships or From Loading or Unloading Facilities SOR/93-4 · 2007
Summary

The regulation document shows all sections (1-50) as repealed by SOR/2007-86 or SOR/2005-285, with no active provisions remaining.

Reason

The regulation is already fully repealed and thus obsolete. Keeping repealed provisions in the statute books creates unnecessary clutter and confusion without any benefit.

delete Order Prescribing the Fees to be Paid for the Technical Assessment and Testing of Telecommunications Apparatus SOR/93-365 · 2007
Summary

This regulation consists of sections 1-9, all marked as '[Repealed, SOR/2007-192, s. 1]'. It indicates that these provisions were formally repealed by a 2007 amendment and are no longer in force. The original subject matter of the repealed rules is not stated in the provided text.

Reason

These regulations are already repealed and have no legal effect. Keeping them in the codified regulations creates confusion and adds to the complexity and cost of compliance and legal research. Deleting them entirely (if they are still published as part of the Act) would reduce regulatory clutter and make it clearer what rules are currently applicable, thereby improving liberty and reducing the burden on citizens and businesses who might otherwise need to interpret their status. The original flaws that led to repeal are irrelevant now, but the presence of dead letter provisions is a hidden cost in terms of time and legal uncertainty.

delete Regulations Respecting the Prevention of the Pollution of Water by Oil Discharged from Ships and from Loading and Unloading Facilities for Ships SOR/93-3 · 2007
Summary

This regulatory document contains no current provisions - all sections (1-49) are marked as repealed by various statutory orders (SOR/2007-86, SOR/95-352, SOR/2004-28, SOR/2002-425). It appears to be a skeletal framework or table of contents for legislation that has been fully repealed.

Reason

The regulation is entirely repealed and contains no enforceable provisions. Retaining repealed statutes on the books creates legal uncertainty, wastes administrative resources, and may mislead citizens about their legal obligations. This is purely obsolete material with zero remaining legal effect.

delete Regulations Respecting the Payments or Contributions that may be Made Under Parts I, II And IV of the Federal-Provincial Fiscal Arrangements and Federal Post-Secondary Education and Health Contributions Act, in Respect of Fiscal Years Beginning on or After April 1, 1992 SOR/93-194 · 2007
Summary

Regulation document containing only repeal notices indicating all provisions (sections 1-26, organized in parts) were repealed by SOR/2007-303, section 44. No substantive regulatory text remains.

Reason

Fully repealed and obsolete; retaining repealed provisions creates legal uncertainty, wastes administrative resources reviewing dead letter, and undermines clarity of the law.

delete Regulations Respecting Fiscal Equalization Payments in Respect of the Fiscal Year Beginning on April 1, 1992 SOR/92-210 · 2007
Summary

These regulations have been repealed and are no longer in effect, with the repeal occurring in 2007 under SOR/2007-303, section 44.

Reason
