Administrative Burden Baseline: Update 2024
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 the Public Safety Portfolio that have requirements that impose administrative burden on business are identified below. Between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024, the Department's total count of administrative burden requirements did not changeFootnote *. As a result, the baseline count remains unchanged from the 2023 baseline count of 239.
