This regulation document consists entirely of repealed sections (1-9) by SOR/2014-38, s. 8. No current regulatory provisions remain.
Already repealed. No active regulation remains to assess; the legislative text confirms complete deletion has occurred.
Aviation, marine, pipeline, and railway accident reporting regulations requiring immediate notification to the Canadian Transportation Accident Investigation and Safety Board of serious incidents and accidents, with detailed information requirements and evidence preservation rules.
These reporting requirements impose significant administrative burdens and compliance costs on transportation operators while providing dubious safety benefits. The extensive data collection requirements create substantial liability exposure without clear evidence of improving outcomes. Most critical safety information is already gathered through existing operational procedures and insurance frameworks. The evidence preservation mandates and in camera interview provisions impose coercive state powers that violate due process and create unfair legal advantages for investigators over private parties.
Establishes allocation formulas for softwood lumber export quotas from Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan to the United States, based on historical export volumes and production data, with specific provisions for primary producers and remanufacturers in each province.
Creates artificial export quotas that restrict free trade, distort market signals, and protect domestic producers at the expense of consumers and efficient producers. The quota system reduces supply, increases prices, and prevents Canadian lumber producers from responding to market demand, harming both domestic and international consumers while protecting inefficient producers from competition.
Federal regulations governing the collection, analysis, storage, and destruction of bodily substance samples for criminal justice purposes, including probation, conditional sentencing, and peace bonds.
These regulations ensure standardized procedures for evidence collection and chain of custody in criminal justice system, protecting both public safety and individual rights through qualified personnel, approved equipment, and mandated destruction timelines.
Defines originating goods under Canada-Korea FTA and sets documentation (bill of lading or customs control evidence) requirements for Korean goods to access preferential tariff treatment.
Deleting would raise tariffs on Korean goods, increasing costs for Canadians. Minimal documentation ensures honest compliance while maintaining trade benefits; removal would reduce consumer welfare and goods supply.
Regulation provides preferential Korea Tariff treatment for 'casual goods' (non-commercial imports) from Korea if properly marked, as part of Canada-Korea free trade agreement.
Creates market distortions through preferential tariffs, imposes compliance burdens via marking requirements, and arbitrarily discriminates between casual and commercial goods. Free trade should not depend on government designation of eligible goods; removal eliminates administrative overhead and allows market forces to optimize trade flows.
Implements specific provisions of the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement into Canadian law, covering trade in goods and services, effective January 1, 2015.
Deletion would breach treaty obligations, disrupt trade with Korea, and remove tariff reductions benefiting Canadian exporters and consumers. This regulation is the essential domestic mechanism to enforce the agreement's trade-liberalizing provisions, aligning with prosperity through open markets and hard to replicate otherwise.
This regulation establishes internal administrative rules for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, including definitions, mess and lounge operations, and procedures for representation/assistance in disciplinary proceedings. It covers organizational structure, member benefits, and grievance processes within the RCMP.
Canadians would be worse off if this regulation was deleted because it provides essential internal governance structure for the RCMP. Without these rules, there would be no standardized procedures for mess operations, lounge management, or representation rights in disciplinary proceedings, leading to potential chaos, inconsistent treatment of officers, and weakened accountability mechanisms within Canada's federal police force.
These Standing Orders establish detailed disciplinary and personnel management procedures for RCMP members, covering basic requirements (firearm license, driver's license, security clearance), pay stoppage processes, discharge/demotion procedures, probationary periods, qualifications, medical examinations, and appeal rights. The regulation creates multiple layers of procedural requirements including written notices, 14-day response periods, meeting requests, new information disclosure obligations, and formal appeals.
This regulation creates excessive bureaucratic layers and procedural delays that hinder the RCMP's ability to quickly address members who fail to meet basic operational requirements. The 14-day notice periods, recusal processes, mandatory meeting procedures, and multi-tiered appeals add administrative overhead without clear justification over simpler, more flexible personnel management. In a police force where reliability and public safety are paramount, these procedural barriers may protect underperforming members and reduce organizational effectiveness. The regulation could be replaced by internal policies that maintain due process while enabling faster operational decisions.
Regulations governing conduct processes for RCMP members, including definitions, conduct authorities, remedial/corrective/serious conduct measures, review procedures, hearings, representation rights, and redress mechanisms.
Canadians would be worse off without these regulations as they provide essential accountability and discipline mechanisms for RCMP members, ensuring public trust in law enforcement through structured processes for addressing misconduct and protecting both members' rights and public safety.
Establishes a comprehensive grievance and appeal system for RCMP members, detailing procedures for initial and final level reviews, Commissioner appeals, and informal resolution. Defines roles, timelines, evidence rules, and decision standards, emphasizing procedural fairness and efficient resolution of employment disputes.
Deletion would leave RCMP members without accessible, specialized recourse for employment grievances, forcing them into costly external litigation or exposing them to arbitrary decisions. The internal system provides timely, expert resolution that protects sensitive operational information and maintains morale and accountability, which would be difficult to replicate externally without compromising security or efficiency.
These regulations establish procedures for verifying the origin of goods under the Canada-Jordan Free Trade Agreement (CJFTA), including methods for verification, timelines for responses, conditions for verification visits, and requirements for maintaining records and providing access to information.
These verification procedures are essential for preventing trade fraud and ensuring that only goods meeting CJFTA origin requirements receive preferential tariff treatment. Without these mechanisms, Canadian customs would lack the ability to verify claims, potentially allowing non-qualifying goods to benefit from preferential rates, undermining the trade agreement's integrity and creating unfair advantages for bad actors.
Internal administrative regulation governing RCMP organization, ranks, uniforms, benefits, payments, and personnel procedures. Covers divisional structure, Reserve organization, command precedence, conduct codes, resignation processes, reinstatement, uniform standards, insignia, travel/relocation expenses, medical treatment, Benefit Trust Fund management, and service documentation.
These are necessary internal governance rules for a federal police force. Deleting them would create operational chaos, inconsistent treatment of members, unclear chains of command, and administrative dysfunction. The regulation achieves legitimate organizational coherence that would be impossible to replicate through ad-hoc methods, and it doesn't distort markets or restrict economic liberty as Better Canada's mandate targets.
Prescribes an oath of secrecy for RCMP members under paragraph 45.45(1)(a) of the RCMP Act, implementing the Enhancing RCMP Accountability Act. Establishes confidentiality requirements for officers.
Deleting would remove enforceable confidentiality standards, risking investigation leaks, informant safety, and operational security. The oath achieves necessary secrecy that informal measures couldn't reliably provide, though its scope must balance with accountability to prevent overreach.
Exempts Yukon wastewater systems from federal Wastewater Systems Effluent Regulations and Fisheries Act subsection 36(3) if already regulated under Yukon's Waters Act and Regulation.
Canadians would be worse off due to increased regulatory burden and costs on Yukon, loss of territorial autonomy, and duplication with existing Yukon laws. This order efficiently achieves avoidance of double regulation through a clear legislative exemption, which would be harder to replicate otherwise.
