Administrative Burden Baseline: Update 2022
The Administrative Burden Baseline provides Canadians with a clear metric on the total number of requirements in federal regulations and associated forms that impose administrative burden on business. This baseline contributes to the openness and transparency of the federal regulatory system.
All federal regulations that are administered by Public Safety Canada that have requirements that impose administrative burden on business are identified below. Between July 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022, the Department's total count of administrative burden requirements did change. There were some regulatory changes that affected the existing count of administrative burden requirements related to transport authorizations. As a result the baseline count rose from 229 (2014 to 2021 baseline count) to 233.
