This book examines the causes and effects of various changes in Canadian regulatory institutions and regimes, and assesses possible future patterns of choice and change. Concerned primarily with the politics of Canadian regulatory institutions, the focus of this collection is on the federal government but reference is made to broad federal - provincial developments as well. It also links changes in Canada to international regulation and to comparative change in other countries and jurisdictions, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. Book jacket.
First, we provide a characterization of regulatory trends in Canada and the United States using a regulatory indicator recently developed by the OECD with a view to assessing the extent of regulatory convergence in the economic restrictiveness of regulations between Canada and the United States. [...] The regulatory reforms had the further impact of stabilizing the relative burden of the regulations on the economy. [...] Some aggregate measures of regulations that have been historically used include the total number of regulations, the number of pages of regulations, the number of kilobytes taken by the regulations, the labour force engaged in regulatory activity, and the total expenditure (or portion thereof) of regulatory agencies. [...] The available indices for the airlines, railways, roads, telecommunications, post, and gas sectors show that the economic restrictiveness of regulations has either remained constant or has declined (but more of the latter than the former), and that the United States indices are lower than Canada's with the exception of the gas sector where Canada has an advantage and the telecommunications sector [...] In this regard, even though the restrictiveness of the regulatory regime has declined over time, Canada lags both the OECD average country and the United States, and this is the case both in the aggregate and in all the various sectors (figures 4 and 5).
This Plan is a compendium of 716 regulatory initiatives published here in order to facilitate input from interested and affected parties. Organized by agency or department. The document provides a table of regulations affected, a description of the body's roles and responsibilities, the body's legislative mandate (the legislation for which it is responsible) and then a detailed description of each regulatory amendment with expected date of publication and contact person. The document concludes with program evaluation plans, an index, and a list of regulations which appeared in previous plans but which were not implemented as intended.
For regulation to be sensitive to the needs of Canadians it is critical that interested parties make government departments and agencies aware of their concerns about regulations before they become law. This plan provides the public with an early opportunity to participate in the regulatory process. It lists possible initiatives identified by departments and administrative or independent regulatory agencies giving a detailed description of each regulatory amendment with contact person. It includes a section giving a brief progress report on initiatives included in the previous plan.
