Return to footnote reference * Based on an analysis of the forward regulatory plans posted on departmental Acts and Regulations Web pages as of June 2013. The total number of planned regulatory initiatives analyzed (n=448) differs from the initial posting (n = 460) as regulators update their plans on an ongoing basis.

Return to footnote reference ** Over 80% of AAFC’s planned regulatory initiatives were from the Farm Products Council of Canada (FPCC). Of the FPCC’s initiatives, nearly 50% were proposals to repeal spent (i.e., obsolete) regulations with no anticipated business impacts. The remaining initiatives on the FPCC’s plan were routine items that are part of the FPCC’s supply management mandate and represent regularly-occurring interactions with the farm products industry.
