delete Withdrawal from Disposal, Setting Apart and Appropriation of Certain Tracts of Territorial Lands in the Northwest Territories (Reindeer Grazing Reserve) Order SI/2014-38 · 2017
Summary

Excise Tax Indexing Ratio Regulations that adjusted excise tax ratios for 1983-1984 adjustments, now fully repealed.

Reason

Completely repealed and obsolete; original regulation created unnecessary tax complexity without providing lasting economic benefit.

delete Court of Queen’s Bench for Alberta Summary Conviction Appeal Rules SI/2012-39 · 2017
Summary

This document consists entirely of repealed regulations (sections 1-11), all repealed by SI/2017-76, s. 36. No active regulatory text remains.

Reason

Already repealed. The document serves no current legal purpose and represents regulatory clutter. Retaining repealed provisions in the active codebase creates confusion, increases compliance uncertainty, and wastes administrative resources maintaining dead letter.

delete Regulations Respecting Zoning at Montreal International Airport C.R.C., c. 96 · 2017
Summary

This regulation contains five sections that have all been repealed by SOR/2017-201, section 7. It is no longer in force and has no legal effect.

Reason

The regulation is already repealed and therefore irrelevant. Maintaining repealed statutes on the books creates legal clutter and confusion, imposing unnecessary compliance costs on regulated parties who must still navigate through obsolete provisions to determine current law.

delete Foreign Vessel Fishing Regulations C.R.C., c. 815 · 2017
Summary

Comprehensive fishing regulations governing foreign vessels in Canadian waters, including licensing, gear restrictions, catch limits, and seasonal closures across Atlantic and Pacific fisheries

Reason

Overly complex regulatory framework that restricts fishing access, creates compliance burdens, and distorts market incentives. The extensive licensing system, gear restrictions, and catch quotas artificially limit supply and increase costs for consumers while reducing income for fishermen. Modern fisheries management should rely on property rights, market-based quotas, and voluntary conservation rather than bureaucratic control.

delete Regulations Respecting the Protection of Health of Fish C.R.C., c. 812 · 2017
Summary

This regulation consists of sections 1 through 6, all of which have been repealed by SOR/2017-122, section 1.

Reason

Already repealed and obsolete; maintaining repealed provisions creates legal clutter and confusion without any benefit.

delete Regulations Respecting the Licensing of Persons who are Engaged in the Marketing of Turkeys in Interprovincial or Export Trade C.R.C., c. 660 · 2017
Summary

Licensing system for turkey marketing in interprovincial/export trade, requiring annual licenses for producers, processors, dealers, and hatcherymen with reporting requirements and fee structures, while exempting small producers in various provinces based on annual production volumes.

Reason

Creates artificial barriers to entry in turkey markets, imposes unnecessary compliance costs on small producers, restricts voluntary trade between provinces, and enables bureaucratic control over what should be free market transactions.

delete Regulations Under the Canada Corporations Act C.R.C., c. 424 · 2017
Summary

Document lists sections 1-56, all marked as repealed by SOR/2010-61 and SOR/2017-283; the regulation contains no active provisions.

Reason

The regulation is already repealed and therefore obsolete. Keeping it would perpetuate the costs of a flawed policy regime that likely hindered economic liberty, increased bureaucracy, and distorted incentives. Its repeal indicates recognition that the costs outweighed any benefits.

delete Fuels Information Regulations, No. 1 C.R.C., c. 407 · 2017
Summary

Mandatory reporting requirements for fuel producers and importers regarding production volumes, fuel types, and additives, with quarterly submissions and electronic/paper filing options.

Reason

Pure administrative burden with no demonstrated benefit that cannot be achieved through market mechanisms. Creates compliance costs, paperwork, and entry barriers while gathering data likely for future regulatory control. Contributes to Canada's reputation as an over-regulated jurisdiction that drives away investment and skilled workers.

delete Regulations Respecting the Assigning of Social Insurance Numbers C.R.C., c. 386 · 2017
Summary

This regulation contains only repealed provisions that were removed in 2017, indicating these rules are no longer in effect and serve no current purpose.

Reason

Completely obsolete regulations that have already been repealed serve no purpose and only clutter the regulatory code. Their removal would eliminate unnecessary complexity without any impact on current operations.

delete Regulations Respecting the Prevention of Pollution of Arctic Waters by Ships C.R.C., c. 353 · 2017
Summary

This document lists repealed sections from a federal regulation, showing multiple sections (1-30) repealed through various Statutory Orders (SOR) between 1978 and 2017. The regulation appears to have been systematically dismantled over time.

Reason

This regulation is already repealed and therefore no longer in force. Keeping repealed provisions in the regulatory framework creates confusion, wastes administrative resources, and may mislead citizens and businesses about current legal requirements. The document serves only as historical record and should be removed from active regulations.

delete Regulations Respecting the Stabilization of Net Proceeds from the Production and Sale of Western Grain under the Western Grain Stabilization Act C.R.C., c. 1607 · 2017
Summary

Regulations 1-8 were repealed in 2017 under SOR/2017-84, s. 1, indicating they were deemed obsolete or unnecessary by the government itself.

Reason

Already repealed and obsolete - maintaining repealed regulations creates unnecessary complexity and legal confusion without any benefit to Canadians.

delete Regulations Respecting Fire Detection and Extinguishing Equipment C.R.C., c. 1422 · 2017
Summary

This document consists entirely of repealed sections (1-109), with most repealed by SOR/2017-14 and a few by earlier regulations. There is no remaining active regulatory text.

Reason

Already fully repealed - no active regulation remains. The previous regulation was eliminated entirely, confirming it was deemed unnecessary or replaced. Repealed regulations should remain deleted to avoid confusion and unnecessary legal references.

delete Rules Implementing Arrangement Between Canada and the United States Described in Subsection 34(3) of the Nuclear Liability Act C.R.C., c. 1240 · 2017
Summary

This regulation provided technical adjustments to excise tax indexing ratios for 1983-1984, modifying specific ratios by multiplying them by predetermined factors to account for inflation and tax changes during those years.

Reason

Repealed in 2016 as obsolete, the regulation's specific indexing mechanisms are now handled through more modern tax administration systems. The repealed status indicates these technical adjustments were superseded by updated procedures that better reflect current economic conditions.

delete Ozone-Depleting Substances Regulations, 1998 SOR/99-7 · 2016
Summary

The regulation consists entirely of repealed sections with no current legal effect.

Reason

Obsolete: fully repealed by SOR/2016-137; original flaws led to its elimination

delete Blainville Motor Vehicle Test Centre Benefit Eligibility Protection Regulations SOR/99-4 · 2016
Summary

Regulation provides former federal employees who transferred to a private employer (PMG Technologies Inc.) in 1996 with a one-year option to count their private employment toward public service pension eligibility, with various adjustments to survivor benefits and pensionable service calculations.

Reason

Obsolete: the one-year opt-in period expired in 1997. This micro-regulation addresses a one-time historical transfer and represents inappropriate government intrusion into what should be private contractual pension arrangements. It sets a precedent for legislated pension portability rather than market-based solutions.
