Canada's Federal Regulatory Framework

The Government of Canada has introduced a new Cabinet Directive on Regulation (the CDR).

It is supported by four policies approved by the President of the Treasury Board. This page provides guidance, templates, and tools for regulators to help them meet the requirements of the new CDR.
