Regulatory Affairs Sector

The Regulatory Affairs Sector supports the Treasury Board in its role as the Queen's Privy Council for Canada by providing advice to the Governor General and by providing management and oversight of the government's regulatory function. In addition, the sector provides policy leadership on federal regulatory policy, the Cabinet Directive on Regulatory Management, and guidelines and tools to implement this directive.

The sector advises Treasury Board ministers on Governor in Council submissions, supports implementation and continuous improvement of the Cabinet Directive on Regulatory Management, and oversees government-wide implementation of Canada's systemic regulatory reforms in reducing red tape.
