Review of the Official Languages (Communications with and Services to the Public) Regulations
Enabling act(s)
Rationale
Review of regulations to align with evolving legislation, administrative needs or government priorities.
Narrative
The review of these regulations was driven by the Government of Canada’s commitment to promoting and protecting official languages within the federal public service and with members of the public across the country.

Date of last review or amendment (year)
Amended in 2019.
Targeted start for review (year)
The amended Official Languages Regulations requires a review be undertaken every 10 years. This review is expected to start in 2026–27 in order to be completed by 2029.
Outcomes
The review of these Regulations was completed in 2019. Amended Regulations were registered by the Clerk of the Privy Council on June 25, 2019, and published in the Canada Gazette, Part II, on July 10, 2019. The review produced more inclusive official languages regulations that better reflect community needs and respond to demographic and technological changes. The amendments will also enhance Canadians’ access to federal services in both official languages.

Review of the Red Tape Reduction Regulations
Enabling act(s)
Rationale
A review of the Red Tape Reduction Regulations (RTRR) is part of the legislated review of the Red Tape Reduction Act, which began in 2020. This review has been completed and the report is available at Report on the Internal Review of the Red Tape Reduction Act. The next review of the RTRR and its associated policies are expected to take place approximately every five years alongside routine regulatory policy reviews.
Narrative
The Red Tape Reduction Act, brought into effect in 2015, sets out requirements for federal departments and agencies to control the growth of administrative burden on business when developing regulations (that is, the one-for-one rule). The RTRR set out the requirements for calculating administrative burden, reconciliation timelines, exemptions, and reporting.
The RTRR and its associated policies will be examined as part of routine regulatory policy review led by TBS.
Date of last review or amendment (year)
The review began in 2020-21.
