REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT

(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)

Issues

As a result of section 238 of the Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1, chapter 29 of the Statutes of Canada, 2019 (the Act), having been brought into force by order in council (SI/2020-40) on June 4, 2020, and pilotage charges having been established by the Pacific Pilotage Authority, the Laurentian Pilotage Authority and the Atlantic Pilotage Authority in accordance with the new sections 33 to 35 of the amended Pilotage Act, the Atlantic Pilotage Tariff Regulations — Newfoundland and Labrador Non-Compulsory Areas, the Atlantic Pilotage Tariff Regulations, 1996, the Laurentian Pilotage Tariff Regulations and the Pacific Pilotage Tariff Regulations (jointly referred to as the Pilotage Tariff Regulations) have become obsolete and need to be repealed as per subsection 265(2) of the Act.

Objective

To repeal the Pilotage Tariff Regulations given that the enabling authority has been repealed and pilotage charges have been established by each pilotage authority.

Description and rationale

These Regulations will repeal the Pilotage Tariff Regulations as per subsection 265(2) of the Act. Consistent with the new section 33 of the amended Pilotage Act, each pilotage authority has established pilotage charges by resolution, making the Pilotage Tariff Regulations obsolete.

One-for-one rule and small business lens

The one-for-one rule applies since four regulatory titles are removed, and the proposal is considered a title out.

Analysis under the small business lens determined that the proposal will not impact small businesses in Canada.
