Provides financial assistance for funeral, burial, and cremation costs for veterans, income-qualified civilians, and others, including gravemarker provision and estate asset assessment.
Ensures dignified burial for those who served or qualify based on need. Without it, many would face financial hardship for basic funeral services, creating social inequity and burdening families.
Regulation implements the federal Sex Offender Information Registration Act in British Columbia, allowing telephone reporting, authorizing RCMP and designated constables to collect information, authorizing registration centre staff to register, designating provincial registration centres, and setting the effective date.
The registry imposes ongoing state surveillance on individuals who have completed their sentences, violating proportionality and second‑chance principles. Its costs include hindering reintegration and employment (potentially increasing recidivism), administrative burden, and creating a false sense of security. These liberty infringements and unintended consequences outweigh any marginal public safety benefits.
Regulation requires provincial authorities to issue safety fitness certificates to extra-provincial motor carriers (heavy trucks >4500kg, buses >10 seats) based on standardized NSC safety ratings and minimum liability insurance ($1M per vehicle; $2M for dangerous goods), with ongoing carrier profile maintenance and 15-day insurer notification requirements.
Creates a licensing barrier that reduces competition, raises consumer prices, and imposes costly bureaucracy without clear safety benefits over market mechanisms. Insurance pricing and liability already incentivize safety; the certification system favors incumbents, stifles innovation, and could be replaced by simple financial responsibility rules and voluntary provincial coordination.
Sections 1-4 of a regulation that have been repealed by SOR/2016-102, s. 1. No substantive provisions remain in force.
Already repealed and therefore obsolete. The fact it was eliminated confirms it was an unnecessary regulatory burden with no legitimate public benefit that couldn't be achieved without coercion.
Provincial regulations for sex offender information registration in New Brunswick, authorizing telephone reporting, designating RCMP and police officers as collectors, specifying authorized registrars, and establishing registration centre locations.
Public safety requires tracking of sex offenders; repealing would eliminate provincial infrastructure for compliance with federal law, making it harder to monitor high-risk individuals and protect communities.
Regulations governing Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) in Canada, establishing rules for Canada Education Savings Grants (CESG), Canada Learning Bond (CLB), contribution limits, withdrawal rules, and reporting requirements to promote post-secondary education savings.
Government-mandated savings programs distort individual financial choices and create dependency on state subsidies. The regulatory framework imposes compliance costs, restricts private alternatives, and interferes with voluntary saving decisions. Free markets would provide more efficient education financing without bureaucratic oversight.
Regulation establishes a compulsory licensing regime allowing generic manufacturers to export patented pharmaceuticals to specified countries without patent holder consent. It mandates specific forms, requires royalty payments using an HDI-based formula (0.04% of monetary value), and imposes website disclosure and reporting requirements for authorization holders.
This regulation forcibly expropriates patent rights, overriding voluntary contracts and imposing arbitrary state-determined royalty rates. It increases transaction costs through rigid paperwork, distorts market pricing signals, and creates regulatory barriers that impede efficient negotiation. The unintended consequences include reduced innovation incentives, increased complexity for businesses, and misallocation of resources. Access to medicines in developing nations would be better achieved through voluntary licensing, market-based mechanisms, and charitable initiatives absent compulsory government intervention.
Defines who is not considered a 'related party' of a retail association under the Cooperative Credit Associations Act, specifically excluding certain members and their family members from related party status based on ownership, voting rights, and control thresholds.
This regulation prevents retail associations from being overly restricted in their operations by excluding ordinary members and their families from related party classifications, which would otherwise limit the association's ability to conduct normal business with its own members.
Regulations 1-3 were repealed in 2008 under SOR/2008-90, section 1. The content of these regulations is not provided, but they are already obsolete and no longer in force.
Already repealed and obsolete since 2008, rendering them irrelevant to current regulatory framework.
This regulation appears to be a series of provisions that were all repealed in 2017, indicating it was rendered obsolete or unnecessary by subsequent legislation or policy changes.
Completely repealed in 2017, demonstrating these provisions were no longer needed and had become obsolete. Repealed regulations impose unnecessary compliance costs and create confusion for businesses and citizens who must navigate outdated legal frameworks.
Prohibits the Toronto Port Authority from permitting any bridge or fixed link construction between mainland Toronto and the Toronto Islands, while allowing pedestrian tunnels as an exception.
This prohibition imposes substantial hidden costs: it prevents potentially beneficial infrastructure that would reduce transportation costs, enhance emergency access, and spur economic development on the islands. The arbitrary distinction between bridges (banned) and tunnels (allowed) suggests political motives rather than engineering necessity, likely protecting ferry monopolies and NIMBY interests. Any legitimate concerns about environmental impact or traffic can be addressed through targeted regulations without a blanket ban. The regulation stifles voluntary agreements between property owners and developers, artificially constrains supply of transportation options, and perpetuates inefficiency that harms Island residents, businesses, and Toronto's competitiveness.
Establishes legal framework for International Cospas-Sarsat Programme headquarters in Montreal, granting organization and personnel diplomatic privileges/immunities similar to UN bodies for space-based search and rescue operations
Canadians would be worse off if this international search and rescue coordination system lost its diplomatic status - removing these immunities would undermine global emergency response capabilities and potentially compromise Canada's role as host for critical space-based rescue operations that save lives worldwide
The regulation consists entirely of sections marked as repealed by SOR/2016-193, section 7, indicating the entire regulation has been removed from force and effect.
This regulation has already been repealed and is legally dead. Retaining references to repealed regulations creates confusion, wastes institutional memory, and burdens citizens with obsolete requirements.
This regulation imposes a 15% surtax on specific U.S. agricultural and tobacco products imported to Canada, effective May 1, 2005 for one year. It applies to goods in tariff items 0103.10.00, 0103.91.00, 0103.92.00, 0301.10.00, 0303.79.00, 0307.10.10, 0307.10.20, and 2402.20.00, excluding goods in transit on May 1, 2005.
This protectionist surtax artificially raises prices for Canadian consumers, reduces competition, and violates free trade principles. It creates inefficiencies by forcing Canadians to pay more for agricultural and tobacco products while potentially harming Canadian producers who rely on these inputs. The temporary nature suggests political rather than economic rationale, and such trade barriers ultimately reduce prosperity by restricting voluntary exchange.
Document consists of 12 sections, all marked as repealed by SOR/2010-158, s. 12. No substantive regulation remains in force.
Already repealed and obsolete; no current regulatory text to evaluate.
