This was a regulation under the Cooperative Credit Associations Act that imposed advance notice requirements (4-6 months) on cooperative credit associations before closing retail deposit-taking branches or ceasing such activities, with requirements varying by location (urban vs rural). The notice had to be given to the Commissioner, customers, and in some cases municipal officials and via newspaper publication, and included specific content about alternative services.

The regulation has already been repealed by SOR/2014-75, s. 10 and is no longer law. Even when in force, it imposed significant compliance burdens and delayed market adjustments, restricting financial institutions' ability to respond efficiently to changing customer preferences and cost structures— burdening consumers with higher costs and reducing operational flexibility.

These regulations were repealed in 2015 and are no longer in effect. They appear to be outdated provisions that were removed from the regulatory framework.

Repealed regulations serve no current purpose and create unnecessary legal clutter. Their removal reflects recognition that they were obsolete and potentially harmful to economic efficiency.

Repealed hazardous products regulations covering toxic materials, infectious substances, and workplace safety requirements.

Already repealed; represented dead letter regulatory burden that distorted markets, increased compliance costs, and created unnecessary barriers to entry while safety was better managed through private liability and market discipline.

This regulation document consists entirely of repealed sections (by SOR/2015-51, s. 1). The entire regulation appears to have been formally repealed in 2015.

The regulation is already repealed and has no legal effect. Its original existence likely imposed compliance costs and restrictions that were unnecessary or harmful to economic liberty, hence why it was repealed.

All shown sections (1-6) are repealed by SOR/2015-72; the regulation has no current legal effect.

The regulation is obsolete due to full repeal; keeping dead letter creates legal clutter and administrative burden. The original provisions likely imposed unnecessary restrictions on economic liberty, as their repeal indicates.

Repealed regulation previously governing unspecified subject matter, formally removed from the regulatory code in 2015

Already repealed and obsolete, representing unnecessary regulatory burden that has been eliminated - keeping it would only add compliance costs without any benefit

These regulations have been repealed and are no longer in effect. The repealed sections were removed by SOR/2015-72, section 1.

Regulations are already repealed and obsolete. Repealed regulations create unnecessary legal complexity and should be removed from the books to eliminate confusion and reduce regulatory burden.

Comprehensive regulation of Canadian radio broadcasting covering licensing, content quotas, programming requirements, technical standards, ownership rules, and operational procedures for AM, FM, and digital stations

Excessive regulatory burden on broadcasters, restrictive content quotas that limit market freedom, complex licensing requirements that create barriers to entry, and outdated provisions that stifle innovation in the digital age

These regulations govern the marshaling and operation of service equipment cars (railway cars used for employee housing and equipment transport). They impose specific placement rules, speed limits, coupling procedures, propane safety standards, and communication requirements for trains carrying occupied service equipment cars.

This prescriptive regulation imposes significant operational constraints on railways (specific marshaling positions, distance rules, speed caps) that reduce efficiency and innovation. The same safety outcomes for workers could be achieved through market mechanisms like liability, insurance, and competitive pressure to maintain safe operations. The detailed technical specifications stifle adaptation to modern technology and create hidden costs borne by consumers. Railway companies already have strong incentives to protect their valuable human capital; detailed government mandates distort risk assessment and prevent flexible, cost-effective safety solutions.

The Reporting of Imported Goods Regulations mandate advance electronic reporting to CBSA for imported goods, specifying precise timing (from 96 hours to 1 hour before arrival), extensive information requirements via Schedules 1-4, and rules varying by transport mode (vessel, aircraft, highway, rail). It includes numerous exemptions for certain carriers (CSA carriers/importers), goods, and origins (US/Mexico), and has been heavily amended with many sections repealed over time.

The regulation imposes excessive compliance costs, creates arbitrary delays that disrupt supply chains, and burdens carriers with complex, prescriptive requirements that increase trade costs and reduce competitiveness. Essential customs enforcement and duty collection can be accomplished with much simpler reporting at arrival, eliminating these economic distortions while preserving legitimate state interests.

Entire regulation marked as repealed (SOR/2015-164, s. 15). All sections 1-14 across Parts I and II show '[Repealed...]' with no substantive text remaining.

Already repealed; no longer in force. The regulation's obsolescence confirms its removal was appropriate and aligns with reducing regulatory burden.

Mandates importers to maintain detailed records of commercial goods for six years, including origin, value, sales, and duty calculations, to enable customs audits and administer preferential trade agreements. Applies to all importers with enhanced requirements for CSA importers, duty-free shops, bonded warehouses, and certificate holders.

Imposes heavy compliance costs and record-keeping burdens that raise business costs, reduce competitiveness, and discourage trade. These costs are passed to consumers through higher prices and reduced product variety. Unseen effects include stifling small business entry, distorting activity toward compliance over production, and perpetuating a protectionist tariff enforcement system that undermines liberty and prosperity.

This regulation has been repealed as of SOR/2015-72, section 1, rendering all its provisions obsolete and no longer in force.

Already repealed in 2015, making it redundant and obsolete. Maintaining repealed regulations creates unnecessary regulatory burden and confusion.

A regulation consisting of five sections, all repealed by SOR/2015-72, indicating it is no longer in force.

Already repealed (obsolete). Original regulation likely imposed unnecessary regulatory burdens, distortions, and costs that hindered market liberty and prosperity.

Regulation appears to be a repealed document with all sections (1-7) already revoked by SOR/2015-72, section 1. No current regulatory text remains in force.

Already fully repealed and therefore obsolete; contains no active regulatory provisions to consider keeping.
