delete Regulations Respecting the Advertising, Sale and Importation of Hazardous Products (Pacifiers) C.R.C., c. 930 · 2016
Summary

Regulation consisting of sections 1-6, all repealed by SOR/2016-184, s. 7. Original content and purpose no longer in force.

Reason

Already repealed, indicating obsolescence. Keeping repealed statutes creates legal clutter and confusion; the original regulation likely imposed unnecessary costs or restrictions that are rightly removed.

delete Regulations Respecting the Sale, Advertising and Importation of Matches C.R.C., c. 929 · 2016
Summary

Regulation sections 1-9; all repealed by SOR/2016-182, s. 11. No current provisions.

Reason

delete Regulations Respecting the Sale, Advertising and Importation of Kettles C.R.C., c. 927 · 2016
Summary

Document shows sections 1-4 as repealed by SOR/2016-181, s. 3; no active regulatory provisions remain.

Reason

Already repealed regulation is obsolete; re-enacting would reintroduce costs and distortions without clear benefit.

delete Regulations Respecting the Advertising, Sale and Importation of Charcoal C.R.C., c. 924 · 2016
Summary

Regulation consisting of four sections, all repealed by SOR/2016-178, section 4. The document contains no active provisions.

Reason

The regulation is already repealed and therefore obsolete. Any former provisions would have been subject to the standard regulatory flaws: distorting incentives, reducing economic efficiency, and imposing compliance costs that stifle liberty and prosperity.

delete Regulations Respecting the Advertising, Sale and Importation of Hazardous Products (Carpets) C.R.C., c. 923 · 2016
Summary

This regulation was repealed in 2016, indicating it was deemed unnecessary or obsolete. The regulation likely addressed some aspect of Canadian governance or commerce that no longer required formal oversight.

Reason

Repealed in 2016, this regulation is already obsolete and demonstrates that its removal caused no significant harm to Canadians, proving it was unnecessary regulatory burden.

delete Regulations Made Pursuant to the Defence Services Pension Continuation Act C.R.C., c. 554 · 2016
Summary

Pension continuation regulations for Canadian defence services, covering service credit, pension calculations, augmenting service, contributions, and survivor benefits for military personnel and their families.

Reason

Creates complex pension bureaucracy with unintended consequences including reduced labor mobility, increased administrative costs, and distorted retirement decisions that ultimately reduce military personnel's economic freedom and efficiency.

delete Order Providing for the Fixing, Imposing and Collecting of Levies from Certain Potato Dealers and Producers in Prince Edward Island C.R.C., c. 234 · 2016
Summary

Multiple sections (1-5) of a regulation that have been repealed by SOR/2016-49, section 4. No current legal effect.

Reason

Already repealed - this regulation is obsolete and has no force or effect. Maintaining repealed text in the statute books creates unnecessary complexity and confusion for legal interpretation.

delete Territorial Quarrying Regulations C.R.C., c. 1527 · 2016
Summary

Regulation governs extraction of carving stone, loam, sand, gravel, and other construction materials from territorial Crown lands in Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Requires permits/leases for commercial extraction with detailed staking rules, application deadlines, fees, and royalties. Includes Nunavut-specific provision limiting quarrying permits to Designated Inuit Organizations only, and allows limited free extraction for local residents (10m³ loam, 40m³ sand/gravel/stone annually).

Reason

Imposes significant barriers through permit requirements, complex staking/marking rules, fees, and royalties that restrict supply and raise costs of construction materials. Arbitrary area limits (8.1-64.8 hectares) and volume caps distort efficient resource allocation. The Nunavut provision discriminates by reserving quarrying rights for specific ethnic organizations, excluding competitive market entry. These controls suppress economic development in remote regions, increase housing unaffordability, and prevent prosperity through free enterprise.

delete Regulations Respecting the Counting of Service by Former Members of the Senate or House Of Commons, No. 2 C.R.C., c. 1394 · 2016
Summary

All sections repealed (SOR/2016-76, s. 22); no operative provisions remain.

Reason

Already repealed; not part of current law. Maintaining repealed text creates confusion and serves no purpose.

keep Regulations Made Pursuant to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Act C.R.C., c. 1393 · 2016
Summary

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superannuation Regulations govern pension benefits, contributions, and service calculations for RCMP members, including provisions for part-time service, payment options, and actuarial adjustments.

Reason

Canadians would be worse off if this regulation was deleted as it provides pension security for RCMP members who serve in dangerous public safety roles, ensuring retirement benefits are actuarially sound and financially sustainable for both members and taxpayers.

delete Regulations Respecting Applications for Abandonment of Lines of Railway under Section 106 of the Railway Act C.R.C., c. 1382 · 2016
Summary

Document consists entirely of repealed sections (1-8) with no current regulatory provisions; the regulation appears to have been fully repealed by SOR/2016-319.

Reason

Already repealed and irrelevant; contains no current legal effect. Even when active, the repealed provisions likely represented unnecessary regulatory burden that was correctly eliminated.

delete Quebec Central Railway Company Traffic Rules and Regulations (By-Law Number 19) C.R.C., c. 1381 · 2016
Summary

These sections of the regulation have been repealed by SOR/2016-319, section 1.

Reason

The regulation sections have already been repealed and are obsolete. Keeping them would maintain unnecessary legal clutter without any functional purpose.

delete Lake Erie and Northern Railway Company Traffic Rules and Regulations (By-Law Number 42) C.R.C., c. 1380 · 2016
Summary

Entire regulation consisting of 20 sections, all of which have been repealed by SOR/2016-319, section 1.

Reason

Already repealed and therefore obsolete; original regulation had sufficient flaws to warrant removal.

delete The Grand River Railway Company Traffic Rules and Regulations (By-Law Number 10) C.R.C., c. 1379 · 2016
Summary

A regulatory instrument consisting of 20 sections that have been entirely repealed by SOR/2016-319, s. 1. The original content is not visible, but the complete repeal indicates the entire regulation was deemed unnecessary or obsolete by the previous government.

Reason

Already repealed. Keeping repealed regulations on the books creates legal uncertainty and wastes administrative resources maintaining defunct law. The 2016 repeal correctly determined this regulation's costs exceeded any benefits, aligning with the principle that regulations should only exist if they demonstrably improve prosperity and liberty without unintended harms. No Canadians would be worse off by formally acknowledging its deletion from the regulatory canon.

delete The Dominion Atlantic Railway Company Traffic Rules And Regulations (By-Law Number 17) C.R.C., c. 1378 · 2016
Summary

All sections 1-20 of this regulation have been repealed by SOR/2016-319. The original text and substantive content are not provided; only repeal notations remain.

Reason

This regulation is already repealed and therefore obsolete. No current burden exists, and keeping it on the books would create confusion and administrative overhead for zero public benefit.
