Regulation consists of three sections (1-3) that have been repealed by SOR/2015-72, s. 1. The original text and purpose are not provided; no current legal effect.
Already repealed and irrelevant. Keeping dead letter on the books creates legal uncertainty and administrative clutter without any benefit.
This regulation contains sections 1-7 that were all repealed by SOR/2015-72, section 1, making it obsolete and redundant.
The entire regulation has been repealed and is now obsolete, serving no current purpose while potentially creating unnecessary complexity in the regulatory framework.
Regulations 1-4 were repealed in 2015 under SOR/2015-72, section 1. These regulations are no longer in effect and have been officially removed from the federal regulatory framework.
These regulations have already been repealed and are obsolete. They no longer exist in the regulatory framework, making their deletion redundant but necessary to acknowledge their removal from active governance.
These regulations were repealed in 2015 and are no longer in effect. They were previously part of the Canadian Aviation Regulations but have been removed from the regulatory framework.
Repealed and obsolete - no longer part of the regulatory framework. Maintaining repealed regulations creates unnecessary complexity and confusion without any benefit to Canadians.
Exempts retailers from consumer product safety requirements for donated goods, provided the donor is not a business engaged in manufacturing, importing, or selling such products.
This exemption reduces regulatory burden on charitable and second-hand markets, preserving voluntary giving and access to affordable goods. Removing it would impose compliance costs on charities without meaningful safety improvements, as used goods inherently have different consumer expectations and tracking limitations. The regulation appropriately recognizes that the costs of applying full product safety rules to donations outweigh the marginal safety benefits.
Regulates First Nations elections under the First Nations Elections Act, establishing electoral officer roles, voter registration, nomination procedures, voting methods (in-person and mail-in), ballot counting, and results declaration to ensure democratic governance of First Nations councils.
Canadians would be worse off if this regulation was deleted because it provides essential democratic processes for First Nations communities to elect their leadership, ensuring representation, accountability, and self-governance that would be difficult to achieve through alternative mechanisms.
This regulation sets de minimis thresholds for government payments: amounts under $0.99 for CPP/EI/OAS or under $2 for other programs are deemed nil and don't require payment, except for certain accumulated benefits which can roll up for up to 12 months before being subject to the threshold. It's an administrative efficiency rule that waives processing for trivial amounts.
Deleting this would increase bureaucratic costs and administrative burden for processing negligible amounts, wasting taxpayer resources on transactions whose processing costs exceed their value. The regulation sensibly acknowledges that not every tiny accounts-payable item warrants full payment machinery, which aligns with efficient governance. Removing it would create pointless paperwork and expense with zero benefit to Canadians.
Regulation extends Public Service Superannuation Act benefits to specific employees who transferred from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited to Candu Energy Inc. in 2011, treating them as public service employees for pension purposes despite their employer's removal from public service status in 2014.
Imposes direct fiscal costs on public pension system to benefit narrow private-sector cohort; creates dangerous precedent for regulatory preferences; violates equal treatment under law; adds permanent complexity for handful of beneficiaries; distorts labor markets by granting special government benefits to specific employer; encourages moral hazard and reliance on state guarantees; retroactive application undermines rule of law.
Comprehensive biosafety and biosecurity regulations governing controlled activities with human pathogens and toxins, including licensing requirements, security clearances, facility standards, and compliance monitoring through biological safety officers.
Canadians would be worse off if deleted because this regulation prevents catastrophic biosecurity breaches, manages deadly pathogens, and ensures scientific research with dangerous materials is conducted under strict safety protocols that protect public health and prevent bioterrorism.
Comprehensive railway safety management system regulations establishing minimum requirements for safety policies, risk assessments, employee training, and accountability across railway companies and local operators, with extensive documentation, reporting, and ministerial oversight obligations.
Imposes massive compliance costs and bureaucratic burden that exceed proven safety benefits. The rigid, one-size-fits-all approach stifles operational flexibility, creates barriers to entry, diverts resources from actual safety to paperwork, and substitutes centralized process for market-driven safety incentives. Liability law, insurance markets, and competition already provide strong safety discipline without government micromanagement.
This Order applies subsection 58(1) of the Species at Risk Act to the critical habitat of the Westslope Cutthroat Trout (Alberta population) as identified in the recovery strategy, excluding the portion already protected in Banff National Park, restricting land use in designated areas to prevent habitat destruction.
Keeping this regulation imposes significant unseen costs: it infringes private property rights, reduces land supply for housing and economic development, and contributes to Canada's regulatory burden that drives brain drain and worsens affordability. The federal overreach into provincial land-use jurisdiction is problematic. Species protection goals could be achieved through less coercive, market-based or voluntary stewardship approaches that do not destroy wealth or liberty.
This regulation governs signal substitution (simultaneous substitution) for Canadian television broadcasting, allowing Canadian stations to request that cable and satellite providers replace foreign or other Canadian signals with local/regional programming to protect Canadian advertising revenue and promote local content.
Signal substitution regulations artificially restrict content availability, increase costs for distributors, create technical complexity, and protect incumbent broadcasters at consumers' expense. The practice limits viewer choice, imposes compliance burdens, and represents market protectionism that would be unnecessary in a competitive market where broadcasters must earn audiences through content quality rather than regulatory privilege.
Establishes a multi-stage process for investigating complaints against superior court judges, from initial review by a Judicial Conduct Review Panel to an Inquiry Committee, culminating in a report to the Council and Minister. Key mechanisms include mixed membership composition, public hearings with privacy exceptions, fairness principles, and detailed procedural steps.
Without a formal, fair, and transparent process for addressing judicial misconduct, the integrity of the judiciary—and thus the rule of law that protects property rights and contracts—would be undermined. The regulation ensures accountability while safeguarding judges from frivolous complaints, a balance essential for public trust and economic stability that would be difficult to achieve through ad hoc measures.
Framework for calculating administrative burden of regulations, requiring offsets for new burdens via repeal/amendment within 24 months, with exemptions for tax, legal obligations, and emergencies; includes annual reporting requirements.
Deleting this would remove the only statutory mechanism forcing the government to quantify and offset new regulatory costs, leading to unchecked regulatory accumulation that harms businesses, reduces competitiveness, and stifles economic growth.
General permit authorizing Canadian residents to export controlled goods/technology (Group 1 and items 5504.2.a–g) to 33 approved countries without case-by-case licensing, with reporting and record-keeping requirements. Excludes sanctioned destinations, sensitive items (long-range UAVs, certain software/technology), and requires consignee end-use certification.
Deleting this permit would eliminate the streamlined authorization channel, forcing exporters to obtain individual permits for each shipment to approved countries—increasing costs, delays, and uncertainty while reducing Canadian competitiveness. This light-touch reporting system achieves necessary oversight of sensitive exports at minimal burden; reverting to discretionary case-by-case approvals would be far more restrictive, prone to arbitrary decisions, and economically damaging.
