A 1983-1984 regulation specifying inflation indexing multipliers for excise tax adjustments under the Excise Tax Act.

Obsolete regulation from 1983-1984 with zero current legal effect. Keeping deadwood statutes creates regulatory clutter, increases compliance costs through confusion, and undermines rule of law by cluttering the statute books with irrelevant historical artifacts.

Maritime competency and certification regulations governing vessel crew qualifications, training requirements, and certification processes for Canadian and foreign vessels operating in Canadian waters.

These regulations ensure maritime safety and operational competency, preventing accidents and environmental disasters that would harm Canadians through loss of life, environmental damage, and economic disruption.

Document consists entirely of repealed regulatory sections (6 total), all previously revoked by Statutory Instruments SI/2007-62 and SI/2002-132. No substantive regulation remains in force.

These regulations are already repealed and have no legal effect. Maintaining references to repealed provisions creates confusion and administrative burden without any benefit to Canadians. The original regulations, having been deliberately revoked by competent authority, were presumably assessed as unnecessary, harmful, or obsolete at the time of repeal.

Regulation consisting of sections 1 and 2, both repealed by SI/2007-62.

Already repealed, thus obsolete; maintaining it would cause legal uncertainty and waste administrative resources.

Regulation defines specific geographic boundaries in Burnt Bay, Lewisporte Harbour, Mortier Bay, Portland Canal, and Lake Erie using precise coordinates and nautical chart references, creating regulated zones within federal waters.

Geographic zoning restricts voluntary resource use, reduces supply, imposes compliance costs, and replaces market coordination with central planning. The purported goals can be achieved more efficiently through property rights and market mechanisms without unintended distortions.

Temporary rent remission program for specific lessees in Waskesiu campground, Prince Albert National Park. Provides graduated reductions (75%, 50%, 25%) on rent amounts exceeding $300 for fiscal years 2007-2010 only.

Obsolete regulation with expired timeline (2010). Even if still active, it represents inappropriate market intervention that distorts rental pricing, creates unequal treatment among leaseholders, and sets dangerous precedent for special interest carve-outs. The targeted subsidy could be better achieved through general policy or market mechanisms.

A fee remission for citizenship applications from individuals who lived most of their lives in Canada, reasonably believed they were citizens, and applied under specific criteria after Jan 24, 2007.

Canadians would be worse off if this was deleted because it would impose fees on long-term residents who have integrated as Canadians due to a reasonable mistaken belief, causing unnecessary hardship without any public benefit, and the remission efficiently addresses administrative errors without complex case-by-case reviews.

This is a tax remission order granting GST/HST relief to Rainy River First Nations for specific land acquisition transactions under a 2005 settlement agreement. It remits taxes on supplies of 'additional land', related personal property, third-party interest cancellations, associated costs, and replacement land (with formula adjustments), subject to cumulative limits and written confirmation from Indian Affairs.

This creates unequal tax treatment for one specific band while other Canadians face full tax burden on land transactions. It narrows the tax base and sets precedent for group-specific exemptions, violating principle of equal application of law. The administrative tracking of cumulative land quantities and replacement land adjustments adds bureaucracy for minimal public benefit. Historical settlements should be resolved through direct compensation, not permanent tax code carve-outs that distort neutrality.

Remits interest on duty deposit refunds under the Softwood Lumber Products Export Charge Act, 2006 for specified persons who do not sell refund rights to the Crown.

Deleting this remission would unfairly increase costs on exporters for government-caused delays, harming competitiveness and violating private property rights. The regulation ensures fairness and corrects an overcharge without creating new barriers.

This regulation provides remission of export charges under the Softwood Lumber Products Export Charge Act, 2006, allowing specified persons to sell their rights to duty deposit refunds to the Canadian government, which then pays beneficiaries on their behalf under softwood lumber agreements.

This regulation perpetuates protectionist trade barriers and complex bureaucratic redistribution schemes that distort lumber markets, increase costs for consumers, and benefit politically connected industry groups at the expense of free trade and market efficiency.

Minister recommends not listing Bering cisco under SARA due to lack of data, no current threats, abundant Alaskan population, and local opposition; no immediate restrictions, only future baseline studies.

Listing would impose costly regulatory burdens on Yukon fisheries and development based on uncertain information, infringing property rights without demonstrated conservation benefit.

This regulation has been repealed and is no longer in effect as of SOR/2007-165.

The regulation is obsolete and has already been repealed, making it unnecessary to retain. Repealed regulations serve no current purpose and only add to regulatory complexity.

Regulation consisting of four sections, all repealed by SI/2007-68, section 5. No provisions remain in force.

Repealed regulation (obsolescence). No longer has legal effect; maintaining repealed statutes creates regulatory clutter and confusion without any benefit.

Remission order for tax relief to Innu First Nations and individuals on Innu Settlements, providing tax treatment equivalent to reserves for income and GST/HST purposes.

Provides special tax treatment based on ethnic criteria, creating economic distortions and undermining equal treatment under tax law. Creates precedent for race-based tax exemptions that can lead to economic segregation and reduce government revenue without clear economic benefit.

The document shows sections 1-4 marked as repealed by SI/2007-69, s. 5. The original content of these sections is not displayed; only the repeal notations remain.

The regulation is already repealed and therefore obsolete. Retaining placeholder text for repealed provisions serves no functional purpose and may cause confusion. The legislative decision to repeal indicates the provisions were deemed unnecessary or harmful.
