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 Privy Council Office has asked the Canadian Environmental Network (RCEN) to coordinate the participation of NGOs in its Cross-Canada workshops to address the development of a new Government Directive on Regulating. |
|
| |
As part of this process, PCO is planning seven public consultation workshops across Canada during the last two weeks of November to discuss the draft GD-R and solicit advice on the content of the draft. The meetings will be public with no limit on numbers of attendees. PCO has provided the RCEN with funds to pay the expenses of approximately ten NGOs per workshop (including environmental, health, labour and consumer groups). |
| |
Participants will bring a regional perspective to the workshops and have an understanding of federal regulatory policies, practices and processes, and experience working with industry and government to develop feasible policy options, as well as an appreciation of local, national and international dimensions to effective regulatory governance. |
| |
For more information about the workshops, please contact Julia Nichol at (514) 270-0676. To apply, please complete the on-line application form BEFORE NOVEMBER 4TH (whether or not you require travel funding).
Deadline for Halifax workship is December 12, 2005.

Note: The RCEN is an independent, non-partisan organization. It does not take positions. Rather, the RCEN actively encourages and supports its members, who take part in public consultation processes, participate in working groups, or who are delegates to national and international conferences.
The document that you will read here ENGO Primer on Smart Regulation was prepared by ENGO members of the RCEN and thus solely reflects their point of view. It is made available on the RCEN website as a service to its members and the public.
