The Regulators’ Experimentation Toolkit [1]

To support the Centre for Regulatory Innovation’s objective to facilitate regulatory experimentation, this toolkit was developed to provide Canadian regulators with a practical guide to identify, design, and carry out regulatory experiments. Recognizing the novelty of regulatory experimentation, this toolkit provides a starting point for Canadian regulators. Click here to access the toolkit.
