This regulation has been entirely repealed by SOR/2013-61, section 7. All sections (1-13 and subsections) are marked as repealed and contain no active provisions.

Already repealed regulations serve no purpose and only add to regulatory burden by cluttering the legal code. Maintaining them creates unnecessary complexity and potential confusion without any benefits to Canadians. The regulation should be formally deleted to maintain clarity and reduce administrative overhead.

Establishes Canadian Hatching Egg Producers Agency to control marketing of broiler hatching eggs and chicks through quota systems, licensing, and price controls. Restricts interprovincial and export trade, allocates production quotas, and permits price fixing across signatory provinces. Creates barriers to entry and centrally plans supply.

This is central planning that violates free trade principles by restricting interprovincial commerce. Quotas artificially limit supply, raising prices for consumers. Price controls eliminate market price signals that coordinate production. Licensing creates barriers to entry, protecting incumbents and stifling competition. The unseen costs include misallocated resources, reduced innovation, higher food prices, and regulatory capture. Supply management consistently reduces output below consumer demand levels. Canadians are worse off due to higher costs, fewer choices, and inefficient allocation of capital in poultry production.

Sections 1-4 of a regulation, all repealed under 1998 c. 10 s. 201, effective SI/2013-107. No longer in force.

Already repealed; regulations are obsolete with zero legal effect. Keeping such entries in regulatory compilations creates confusion and administrative burden for no benefit.

A list of 20 regulation sections (1-20) that were repealed in 1998 by c. 10, s. 201, with reference to SI/2013-107. No substantive regulatory text remains.

These regulations are already repealed and therefore irrelevant. The original regulations (prior to 1998 repeal) are not provided, but their repeal suggests they were either obsolete or contained flaws that warranted elimination. Keeping repealed provisions on the books creates legal clutter and uncertainty; full deletion maintains legal clarity.

This regulation has been repealed and is no longer in effect.

The regulation is already repealed and obsolete. Repealed regulations create unnecessary legal clutter and potential confusion, serving no purpose while still requiring compliance resources to track their status.

Regulation requiring permits, notices, and conditions for Canadian export of hazardous substances (asbestos, POPs, mercury) under international conventions. Includes prior informed consent, liability insurance ($5M), labeling, and record-keeping requirements.

Imposes significant compliance costs on Canadian exporters, reducing competitiveness. Creates government gatekeeping that distorts voluntary international trade. The permit system represents a knowledge problem: bureaucrats cannot assess export appropriateness as well as market participants. Liability concerns are better handled through private insurance and tort law. Maintains Canada's commitment to intrusive international conventions that restrict liberty and economic growth. Unseen costs include regulatory capture opportunities, barriers to entry for small firms, and potential for driving hazardous trades underground.

Regulation establishes a framework for Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) for veterinary drugs in foods. It defines a published List that specifies safe levels, and exempts foods containing residues at or below these limits from certain Food and Drugs Act provisions. Terms are integrated with existing Food and Drug Regulations.

Canadians would be worse off without clear, science-based safety thresholds for veterinary drug residues in food. This regulation achieves its outcome by providing predictable, consistent standards that balance food production needs with consumer health. The alternative—discretionary enforcement or no standards—would create uncertainty for producers and unacceptable health risks. The delegation to a published, amendable list allows for scientific updates while maintaining rule-of-law clarity that the market cannot provide for invisible residues.

This regulation establishes the Social Insurance Number (SIN) registration system, defining eligibility criteria, application procedures, and special provisions for non-citizens. It covers identification requirements, age-based application rules, birth registration agreements, card replacement processes, and validity periods for SINs beginning with '9' (assigned to temporary residents).

Canadians would be worse off if this regulation was deleted because it provides the essential framework for uniquely identifying individuals for employment, taxation, and social benefits. Without it, the government could not effectively administer the Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance, or ensure proper tax collection. The system prevents identity fraud and ensures only eligible individuals access public services, while the special provisions for temporary residents maintain necessary immigration controls.

This regulation establishes fees for subscribers to Canada's National Do Not Call List, with costs recovered from subscribers based on their subscription type and usage, plus provisions for refunds if collected amounts exceed regulatory costs.

Creates an unnecessary regulatory burden on businesses by forcing them to pay for a government-run service that could be provided voluntarily by the private sector, while also imposing administrative costs and compliance overhead that ultimately get passed to consumers.

Establishes a licensing system for water use and waste deposit in Nunavut, with exemptions for low-impact activities, and imposes fees, reporting, and restoration requirements to protect water resources while enabling certain uses under a modern treaty framework.

Deletion would risk overuse and pollution of fragile Arctic waters, harming Inuit and other residents who depend on them. The regulation achieves protective goals through a tiered licensing system that minimizes burden on small-scale activities while ensuring large-scale users face scrutiny, fees, and restoration obligations. Coordination through property rights and tort law alone would be impractical given the number of water users, high transaction costs, and need for proactive environmental safeguards to prevent irreversible damage in this sensitive ecosystem.

Regulation allows the Employment Insurance Commission to extend the 365-day deadline for reconsideration requests when there's a reasonable explanation for delay, the applicant showed continuing intention, and for late requests, the appeal has reasonable chance of success without causing prejudice to any party.

Canadians would be worse off without this fairness safeguard: legitimate claimants could lose EI benefits due to minor, excusable procedural mistakes beyond their control. The regulation's structured criteria prevent abuse while ensuring accessibility—a balance that would be difficult to achieve through rigid deadlines or inconsistent ad-hoc decisions.

Specifies that Subsection 132(1) of the Public Service Employment Act applies to employees of the Domestic Terrestrial Animal Pathogen Unit within the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, with an effective date of March 31, 2013.

This is a redundant administrative provision that merely clarifies the application of existing employment law to a specific unit. The Public Service Employment Act would apply to federal employees by default; this specification adds no substantive value while contributing to regulatory complexity and bulk. Deleting it simplifies the statutes without affecting worker protections or agency operations, as legal jurisdiction remains clear.

Defines 'originating' goods under the Canada-Panama FTA and establishes documentation requirements (through bill of lading or alternative evidence for direct shipments; shipping route evidence plus customs control documents for transshipments) for claiming preferential 'Panama Tariff' treatment upon import into Canada.

Deleting this would effectively nullify the Canada-Panama FTA's preferential tariff benefits, raising costs for Canadian importers and consumers while harming Panamanian exporters. It prevents tariff fraud through verifiable shipping documentation—a minimal-burden, necessary mechanism that would be difficult to replace without either increased bureaucracy or greater inspectional overhead.

These regulations adjust excise tax indexing ratios for 1983-1984 to account for inflation, modifying calculation formulas in the Excise Tax Act for specific tax adjustments.

These are obsolete technical adjustments from 1983-1984 that no longer serve any purpose. Modern tax systems use continuous inflation indexing rather than fixed historical adjustments, and these specific ratios create unnecessary complexity without providing any benefit to Canadians.

Implementation of the Canada-Panama Free Trade Agreement provisions, granting force of law to specific articles covering trade, customs procedures, and economic cooperation between Canada and Panama.

Free trade agreements reduce barriers to commerce, increase economic opportunities, and promote prosperity through voluntary exchange. Repealing this would harm Canadian businesses, consumers, and workers by reintroducing trade restrictions and reducing market access.
