January 21, 2015 – Ottawa – Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat
Today, the Government of Canada released its second annual Scorecard Report on its efforts to cut regulatory red tape for Canadian businesses. The report is being released during Red Tape Awareness WeekTM, held annually by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
The 2013–14 Scorecard indicates that, after two years of implementing the Red Tape Reduction Action Plan’s systemic reforms, progress is clearly on track. These reforms are saving businesses time, money, and frustration by eliminating unnecessary red tape. The Scorecard shows that regulatory red tape is being controlled and that the systemic reforms have been integrated into the day-to-day operations of the federal regulatory system.
The external Regulatory Advisory Committee, tasked with reviewing the Scorecard, has endorsed it as a fair and reliable account of the progress made.
