Because regulatory impact analysis can be resource-intensive, an early assessment of the expected impacts of regulatory proposals helps determine where approval processes can be streamlined and where analytical resources should be focused. The Triage Statement facilitates this early assessment and should be completed by departments and agencies at the earliest stages of regulatory design. A draft Triage Statement should be shared with the Regulatory Affairs Sector of the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS-RAS) in order to determine the requirements to be met at all stages of the regulatory process, based on the level of costs or adverse impacts and other considerations.

*Determine the appropriate requirements for each regulatory proposal and the level of analysis required;
*Determine the appropriate requirements for each regulatory proposal and the level of analysis required;

*Support more consistent regulatory impact analysis across federal regulatory organizations.
The Triage Statement is an initial assessment to determine the potential levels of impact of a regulatory proposal. Consequently, as new information becomes available and additional analysis and consultations are completed, the previously assessed impact levels may change, thereby requiring the Triage Statement to be amended. The Triage Statement can be amended as necessary throughout the course of the regulatory development process. Any changes to the Triage Statement by the sponsoring regulatory organization should be made in conjunction with a TBS-RAS analyst.

There are circumstances where the application of the “One-for-One” Rule may be inappropriate or unworkable. On these occasions, the rule provides flexibility for the Treasury Board (Part B) to “carve out” certain regulatory proposals on a case-by-case basis.

If a carve-out is being sought, select the appropriate category and provide the necessary rationale to justify your choice.
