Administrative Burden Baseline Update 2023

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 that are administered by Health Canada that have requirements that impose administrative burden on business are identified below. The total count for 2023 is 21,034, which is a net increase from the

2022 count

of 20,479. During the reporting period, the department accounted for 11 regulations that resulted in changes to administrative burden. The increase is primarily due to the new Vaping Products Reporting Regulations, under the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act, that provide Health Canada with vaping-product related information.

The total June 30, 2014 baseline count is 15,649 and can be viewed on the

June 30, 2014 Administrative Burden Baseline Count
