Welcome to the Government of Canada Regulation Web Site

Smart Regulation is a government-wide initiative aimed at improving the Government of Canada's regulatory system so that it can keep pace with today's realities and our evolving needs.  It strives for a better coordinated, more transparent system that remains forward-thinking and accountable to citizens.

Smart Regulation involves a series of projects that aim to strengthen the policies, processes, tools and communities needed to sustain high levels of regulatory performance, and facilitate continuous improvement.  Smart Regulation emphasizes the importance of safeguarding the health and safety of Canadians, contributing to a healthy environment, and securing the conditions for an innovative and prosperous economy.
