Regulatory Reform Policy
The Regulatory Reform Policy guides the development and improvement of provincial legislation, regulations, policies and forms. Its intent is to make sure that:
- All requirements are necessary
- Their impacts on people or businesses are identified and addressed without compromising public health, safety and the environment.
