Part B: Integrated Land Management Bureau — Continued

Related Initiatives and Planning Processes

Deregulation and Regulatory Reform

Maintaining the success achieved in reducing the regulatory burden over the last three years is a bureau commitment. During the next three years, the bureau will continue seeking opportunities for regulatory reform, including:

• new efficiencies to be achieved through the Front Counter BC – Natural Resource Opportunity Centre offices (e.g., coordinated referrals, one-stop shopping, authorization-specific target turnaround times for processing new applications); and
• further shifts towards results-based regulations including recovery plans for broad-ranging species-at-risk which are prioritized on the basis of their global significance and then coordinated across agencies and organizations.

The bureau is also committed to achieving a zero per cent net increase to the regulatory burden as indicated in the regulatory reform performance measure.
