As part of the Government of Canada’s Smart Regulation initiative, the Privy Council Office (PCO) is proposing reform of federal regulatory policy and process. In particular, PCO is developing a proposed Government Directive on Regulating (GD-R), which would replace the current (1999) Regulatory Policy for Canada.
The Canadian Environmental Law Association (CELA) has prepared a position paper on the draft GD-R. Many RCEN member groups have already signed on. Support from NGOs and other public interest groups is currently being sought, with the deadline for sign-on next Friday, January 13.
