delete Regulations Prescribing the Times and Manner for Payments Under Federal-Provincial Reciprocal Taxation Agreements C.R.C., c. 664 · 2007
Summary

This regulation has already been repealed in 2007, making it obsolete and no longer in effect.

Reason

Already repealed in 2007 - maintaining obsolete regulations creates unnecessary regulatory burden and confusion, even if technically inactive.

delete Regulations Respecting the Carriage of Timber Deck Cargoes C.R.C., c. 1496 · 2007
Summary

This regulation has been repealed as of SOR/2007-128, s. 406. It previously contained multiple sections (1-14) organized into three parts, but all provisions have been removed from the legal code.

Reason

The regulation is already repealed and obsolete, making it a dead legal artifact that serves no current purpose. Keeping repealed regulations creates unnecessary legal complexity and potential confusion.

delete Regulations Respecting the Protection Against Accident of Workers Employed in Loading or Unloading Ships C.R.C., c. 1494 · 2007
Summary

Safety regulations for cargo handling operations on ships and docks, covering access, equipment, staging, hatch safety, and worker protection procedures.

Reason

Creates unnecessary regulatory burden that increases costs and delays for shipping operations while reducing flexibility for private safety solutions. Modern industry standards and market incentives already provide adequate safety without government micromanagement of specific equipment requirements, staging dimensions, and procedural mandates.

delete Regulations Respecting the Implementing of the Food and Catering (Ships’ Crews) Convention, 1946 C.R.C., c. 1480 · 2007
Summary

These regulations have been repealed and are no longer in effect.

Reason

Repealed in 2007 (SOR/2007-115, s. 400) - obsolete and no longer applicable to current Canadian regulatory framework.

delete Rules Respecting Preliminary Inquiries and Formal Investigations into Shipping Casualties and Related Matters C.R.C., c. 1479 · 2007
Summary

Document contains only a list of 25 repealed sections with no substantive regulatory content remaining.

Reason

This is not an active regulation but merely a skeletal document referencing repealed provisions. There are no continuing obligations, restrictions, or requirements to evaluate. Keeping this repealed framework on the books creates unnecessary legal clutter and confusion.

keep Regulations Respecting Fees to be Charged for Ship Radio Inspections C.R.C., c. 1472 · 2007
Summary

This regulation sets cost-based fees for radio inspections of ships (Canadian and foreign) conducted by Transport Canada inspectors, covering travel expenses and overtime compensation. It requires payment before issuing certificates for foreign ships, with an exemption for US ships under a bilateral Great Lakes agreement.

Reason

The regulation provides transparent, predictable pricing for a mandatory safety service, ensuring cost recovery without distorting market incentives. Deleting it would create arbitrary fee-setting or require eliminating the inspection mandate itself, undermining safety certification and international compliance. No significant unintended consequences or liberty restrictions are evident.

keep Regulations Respecting Safe Working Practices for the Protection of Persons Employed on Ships C.R.C., c. 1467 · 2007
Summary

Comprehensive workplace safety regulations for maritime and industrial environments covering equipment safety, fire prevention, electrical safety, personal protective equipment, and hazardous materials handling

Reason

Workplace safety regulations prevent thousands of injuries and deaths annually. The costs of repealing this would be immediate and severe - workers would lack essential protections from falls, electrical hazards, toxic exposure, and equipment failures. The regulation creates a baseline safety framework that private markets alone would not provide due to information asymmetries and coordination problems in workplace safety.

delete Pollutant Substances Pollution Prevention Regulations C.R.C., c. 1458 · 2007
Summary

These regulations have already been repealed and are no longer in effect. They appear to be related to Canadian financial or securities regulations that were removed in 2002 and 2007.

Reason

Already repealed and obsolete. Repealed regulations indicate they were deemed unnecessary or ineffective by the government, representing regulatory waste that should not be reinstated.

delete Order Specifying Certain Waters on the Sea Coasts of Canada as Minor Waters C.R.C., c. 1448 · 2007
Summary

This regulation designates specific sheltered coastal waters in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Northwest Territories, and Prince Edward Island as 'minor waters' for regulatory purposes, establishing geographic boundaries for each designated area.

Reason

This regulation creates unnecessary geographic restrictions on maritime activities without clear economic justification. The designation of 'minor waters' likely imposes additional regulatory burdens on shipping, fishing, and coastal development without demonstrable benefits. Such arbitrary classifications distort market operations and add compliance costs for coastal businesses, while the specific boundaries appear to serve no compelling public safety or environmental purpose.

delete Rules Respecting Load Lines for Ships Making Voyages on Lakes or Rivers C.R.C., c. 1442 · 2007
Summary

The Excise Tax Indexing Ratio Regulations set specific multiplication factors (1.35559, 1.99924, 1.37078, 1.88464) for adjusting excise tax ratios on September 1, 1983 and September 1, 1984. All provisions have been repealed by SOR/2016-89.

Reason

Already repealed and obsolete. This regulation created temporary complexity for time-bound adjustments that expired over 40 years ago, leaving no lasting legal effect or purpose.

delete Regulations Respecting Load Lines for Sea-Going Ships C.R.C., c. 1441 · 2007
Summary

This regulation document contains 51 sections, all marked as repealed by SOR/2007-99, section 23. There are no active provisions; the entire document is legally dead.

Reason

Already repealed and obsolete; no legal effect remains. Retaining repealed text creates unnecessary legal clutter, confusion, and administrative overhead with zero benefit.

delete Regulations Respecting Load Lines for Inland Waters Ships C.R.C., c. 1440 · 2007
Summary

This regulation appears to be a repealed set of provisions from the Canada Small Business Financing Regulations, with all 23 sections marked as repealed effective May 1, 2007.

Reason

Already repealed and obsolete. Repealed regulations create unnecessary legal complexity and compliance burden even when inactive. Maintaining repealed provisions in legal code wastes resources and creates confusion.

keep Regulations Respecting the Classification of Home-Trade, Inland and Minor Waters Voyages C.R.C., c. 1430 · 2007
Summary

Maritime safety classification system dividing Canadian waters into voyage classes based on distance from shore, proximity to ports of refuge, and geographical limits to determine appropriate safety standards and crew certification requirements.

Reason

Maritime safety regulations prevent catastrophic accidents and loss of life at sea. Without standardized voyage classifications, ships would face inconsistent safety standards, creating dangerous situations where vessels unprepared for open water conditions could encounter severe weather, leading to potential disasters that would harm crews, passengers, and the environment.

delete Regulations Respecting Prevention of Pollution of the Great Lakes Waters by Sewage From Ships C.R.C., c. 1429 · 2007
Summary

This regulation has been repealed and is no longer in effect. The repealed sections were removed from the regulatory framework.

Reason

The regulation has already been repealed and is obsolete. Repealed regulations serve no purpose and represent unnecessary regulatory clutter that should be removed from the books.

delete Regulations Respecting Grain Cargoes C.R.C., c. 1427 · 2007
Summary

A listing of 18 regulations that have been repealed by SOR/2007-128, section 405. No substantive regulatory text remains; only repeal notations.

Reason

These regulations are already repealed and no longer in force. They pose no regulatory burden and are irrelevant to current policy.
