Related Initiatives and Planning Processes

Regulatory Reform

In the three years ending in June 2004, the ministry reduced its regulatory burden by 53 per cent. This accomplishment exceeded government’s commitment to reduce government regulatory requirements by one-third, as well as the ministry’s 40 per cent reduction target.

The ministry will support Government’s Regulatory Reform initiatives by committing to controlling regulatory burden and improving regulatory quality by:

• Identifying at least one regulatory reform opportunity that will shift the ministry’s regulations to be more citizen-centred, cost-effective, results-based, and responsive to our clients by reducing and/or streamlining the steps or business processes involved in complying with ministry regulations; and
• Adhering to the regulatory criteria set out in the Regulatory Reform Policy, and targeting a zero per cent net increase in regulation through 2008/09.
