The Administrative Burden Baseline provides Canadians with a clear metric on the total number of requirements in federal regulations and associated forms that impose administrative burden on business. This baseline contributes to the openness and transparency of the federal regulatory system.
All federal regulations administered by Transport Canada that have requirements that impose administrative burden on business are identified below. The total 2022 count is 31,386, a decrease of 67 from last year's count of 31,453. The original baseline count was 29,694 on June 30, 2014.
This information is also used by Transport Canada to develop evidence-based policies and regulations that support economic development as well as the safety, security, efficiency and sustainability of Canada's transportation system.
