Measurement Canada water meter consultation Open - accepting input Environment | Natural resources | Regulations | Rural and remote services | Service | Trade Aug 6, 2021 to Oct 8, 2021 2021-08-06 2021-10-08 Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada Water meters will play a significant role in achieving the Government's environment and climate change objectives. They help households to monitor their water usage. According to a 2009 survey, Canadian households with meters on volume-based water pricing schemes used 73% less water than unmetered households on flat-rate water pricing schemes. Currently, under the Weights and Measures Regulations, water meters, are exempt from requiring approval and initial inspection before they are used to determine a customer’s water consumption (unlike scales, gas pumps and other measuring devices used in trade). To help the Government of Canada achieve its climate change goals and sustain our water supply for future generations, Measurement Canada is looking into possible areas where it could assist manufacturers, utilities and end users (e.g. residential home owners) support and promote water conservation through increased accurate measurement of water. Measurement Canada is consulting with water meter manufacturers, water distribution utilities and water meter end users to obtain data on current water measurement approaches and water meter billing practices in the Canadian marketplace. Our goal is to ensure that water distribution utilities can use measurement to quickly identify and correct water loss in their systems, and that consumers receive accurate and reliable measurement.

Boosting charitable spending in our communities Open - accepting input Economic development | Society Aug 6, 2021 to Sept 30, 2021 2021-08-06 2021-09-30 Department of Finance Canada Supporting Canada's charities, non-profits, social enterprises, and other organizations to provide vital services to our communities, including to the most vulnerable members of society, is a key priority of the federal government. Charitable organizations work constantly to address hunger, improve socioeconomic outcomes for diverse Canadians, and keep communities connected and informed, while facing immense financial pressures. Every year, charities are required to spend a minimum amount on their charitable programs or on gifts to qualified donees. This is known as the "disbursement quota" and it ensures that charitable donations are being invested into our communities. Budget 2021 announced the government's intention to potentially increase the disbursement quota, which could boost support for the charitable sector, benefitting those that rely on its services. Through this consultation process, the Department of Finance is seeking feedback on potentially increasing the disbursement quota and updating the tools at the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA)'s disposal in order to enforce the disbursement quota rules, beginning in 2022.
Consultation on proposed luxury tax Open - accepting input Taxes Aug 10, 2021 to Sept 30, 2021 2021-08-10 2021-09-30 Department of Finance Canada The impact of the COVID recession has been very uneven. Some Canadians have lost their jobs or small businesses, while some sectors of the economy have flourished. That's why it is fair today to ask those Canadians who can afford to buy luxury goods to contribute a little bit more. To that end, the recent budget followed through on the government's commitment to introduce a tax on select luxury goods. The budget proposal would introduce a tax on the sale of new luxury cars and aircraft with a retail sale price over $100,000, and new boats over $250,000. The tax would be calculated at the lesser of 20 per cent of the value above these thresholds ($100,000 for cars and aircraft, $250,000 for boats) or 10 per cent of the full value of the luxury car, boat or aircraft. The tax is proposed to come into force on January 1, 2022. Through this consultation process, the Department of Finance is seeking feedback on the design of the proposed Luxury Tax.

Consultations on Tax Implications of International Accounting Rules for Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17) Closed Taxes May 28, 2021 to July 30, 2021 2021-05-28 2021-07-30 Department of Finance Canada On January 1, 2023, new international accounting rules for insurance contracts – known as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) 17 – will come into effect. IFRS 17 aims to improve the financial reporting of insurance contracts by mandating a consistent framework across countries, industries and types of insurance contracts. It also aims to provide more transparent and useful information about the value of insurance obligations and the profitability of insurance contracts. To address these changes, the government is seeking input on its intention to maintain the current alignment between the taxation of profits and the timing of income earning activities. In particular, the government is requesting feedback on how to best enact IFRS 17 in a way that facilitates implementation by insurance companies and is auditable by the Canada Revenue Agency. The government also welcomes views on other potential taxation issues that could arise from the implementation of, or transition to the new standard.

To provide information and insights on diverse population groups, data must first be collected in a standardized way to allow for meaningful comparisons. These standards will enable Statistics Canada to improve data collection, publication and analyses to support evidence-based policy planning and evaluation. The next steps involve collecting feedback from the general public on (1) the proposed updates to the standard on gender of person and (2) the proposed new standards on sexual orientation and LGBTQ2+ status of person.

Technical Consultation - Residential Indoor Air Quality Guidelines for Carbon Dioxide – For Public Consultation Closed Health | Policy Aug 22, 2020 to Oct 21, 2020 2020-08-22 2020-10-21 Health Canada The present document reviews the epidemiological, toxicological, and exposure research on carbon dioxide (CO2). The intent is to propose a new long-term exposure limit for CO2 in residential indoor air, which would minimize risks to human health, and recommend various risk mitigation measures to reduce exposure to CO2. The purpose of this consultation is to solicit comments on the proposed Residential Indoor Air Quality Guidelines (RIAQG) for CO2. The proposed document aims to revisit the Exposure Guidelines for Residential Indoor Air Quality developed for CO2 published in 1987 by Health Canada, which set an acceptable long-term exposure range (ALTER) of ≤ 3500 ppm for CO2 in residential indoor air. Since the publication of these guidelines, new information has become available regarding potential health effects of exposure to elevated CO2 levels (particularly epidemiological and controlled human exposure studies) and indoor concentrations of CO2 in Canada. The document proposes a long-term exposure limit of 1000 ppm (based on a 24-hour average) to protect against increased risk of symptoms including eye irritation, rhinitis, headaches and tiredness, as well as decreased performance on tasks and tests. Levels of CO2 in Canadian homes may be above the long-term exposure limit, and accordingly, Health Canada recommends that individuals take actions to reduce indoor levels of CO2 by ensuring adequate ventilation and controlling indoor sources.

At the Emergency Meeting, the federal government committed to six points of action to address the over-representation of Indigenous children and youth in care in Canada. One of the points of action was a commitment to work with our partners to support communities to exercise jurisdiction in the area of child and family services, including exploring co-developed federal legislation. More information on the Six Points of Action is available online. Throughout the summer and fall of 2018, Indigenous Services Canada held engagements to co-develop options for child and family services federal legislation. As part of that engagement, officials held over 65 engagement sessions across the country and met with nearly 2,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Métis participants including leaders and experts. Additional engagements took place with Indigenous, provincial and territorial partners in January 2019 to gather feedback on the content of the draft legislation. On June 21, 2019, the Act respecting First Nations, Inuit and Métis children, youth and families became a law, and on January 1, 2020, its provisions came into force. The Act: • affirms the rights of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples to exercise jurisdiction over child and family services; • establishes national principles such as the best interests of the child, cultural continuity and substantive equality; • contributes to the implementation of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples; • provides an opportunity for Indigenous peoples to choose their own solutions for their children and families. It recognizes a simple truth: one size does not fit all when it comes to Indigenous child and family services. Indigenous communities and organizations can now develop policies and laws based on their particular histories, cultures, and circumstances with regards to child and family services The Department is also working closely with the parties to the Complaint through a Consultation Committee on the implementation of all of the Tribunal orders. As part of the orders, the parties to the Complaint and Canada have jointly signed a Consultation Protocol to ensure that engagement consultations are carried out in a manner consistent with the Honour of the Crown and to eliminate the discrimination substantiated in the decision.
