Forward Regulatory Plan

The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada’s (the Agency) Forward Regulatory Plan for 2021-2023 is a publicly available list that outlines planned or anticipated regulatory initiatives that the Agency intends to propose or finalize within a two-year period. It may also include longer-term regulatory initiatives.

Some of the initiatives in this plan may be associated with the Agency’s Regulatory Stock Review Plan, a multi-year plan to review its existing regulations.

Forward Regulatory Plans aim to help people in Canada—including businesses, Indigenous peoples, and trading partners—plan for:

• opportunities to provide feedback during regulatory development
• future regulatory changes

The Forward Regulatory Plan briefly describes each regulatory initiative and includes information on:

• who may be affected by a regulatory initiative
• regulatory cooperation efforts undertaken or planned
• opportunities for public consultation
• related information or analysis
• the Agency’s contact information

The Forward Regulatory Plan will be updated over time to reflect:

• progress in regulatory development; and,
• changes to the Agency’s regulatory priorities or operating environment.
