All ministries review and update their regulations, policies, programs and services on an ongoing basis to keep British Columbians safe, promote innovation, protect the environment, encourage competitiveness and growth, and to make sure everyone is included and represented.
The Better Regulations for British Columbians (BR4BC) amendment process is one of the ways we modernize regulations. Through BR4BC, small regulatory changes are grouped together and updated at once using an efficient and streamlined process.
2024 BR4BC updates include:
The Government of British Columbia is committed to modern, equitable and inclusive legislation, policies and service delivery. As part of that commitment, it is important to ensure that language used in Government products is accessible, up-to-date and reflective of all people in the province. The Modernizing Language Guide has been developed as a resource to help identify and address outdated language and requirements within legislation, policies, forms and all other public-facing materials.
We work at all stages of policy development to keep B.C.'s regulations and policies modern and inclusive.
