This special edition of our newsletter focuses on the pilot of our new online engagement platform that will be used to gather input to help improve the regulatory system, increase awareness of our initiatives, and reach new stakeholders using new interactive engagement tools. Engaging stakeholders, such as the Canadian public, industry associations, businesses, and other organizations impacted by Canada’s federal regulatory system, is essential to the effective delivery our initiatives and to our broader efforts at helping build trust in government through greater transparency and inclusion.
We also take this opportunity to mention that since our last newsletter, we have welcomed Graham Flack as Secretary of the Treasury Board.
== '''RAS New Online Engagement Platform: Let’s Talk Federal Regulations''' ==
We are piloting an online interactive engagement platform '''''Let’s Talk Federal Regulations''''' to help gather input from Canadian organizations and individuals on several topics over the coming months. These topics will address work undertaken in the context of various federal regulatory modernization initiatives, such as targeted regulatory reviews, public reporting and educational materials.
Participants will be able to use a range of tools available on the platform such as discussion forums, virtual post-it notes, stories and question boards to share their ideas and perspectives.
This pilot initiative will help us test new digital approaches to gather stakeholder input, find ways to address consultation fatigue by staggering engagement on several topics over time and consolidate opportunities for input on different regulatory system issues in a single place.
For more information on this initiative please visit the [https://letstalkfederalregulations.ca/ Let’s Talk Federal Regulations] webpage.
== '''Have your say on Regulatory Cooperation''' ==
The first in a series of topics for which we would appreciate your input using our new online engagement platform is on '''regulatory cooperation'''.
Specifically, we would like to obtain your ideas and perspectives on:
* Opportunities to align and cooperate on regulations with other governments and regulatory barriers impeding trade.
* New ch<span lang="EN-US"></span>allenges or opportunities for regulatory alignment and cooperation as we look towards recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
* Potential future workplan items to inform Canada’s position on the regulatory cooperation tables (nationally and internationally).
