REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS STATEMENT
(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)
Issues
Amendments to the Pilotage Act (the Act), which were brought into effect in June 2020, under the Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1, granted pilotage authorities the power to set their pilotage fees outside of regulation. Since then, the charging methodology for setting fees was developed and implemented, which rendered the Great Lakes Pilotage Tariff Regulations obsolete.
Objective
To repeal the Great Lakes Pilotage Tariff Regulations, given that the enabling authority has been repealed and pilotage charges have been established by the Great Lakes Pilotage Authority.
Description and rationale
The Regulations will repeal the Great Lakes Pilotage Tariff Regulations as per subsection 265(2) of the Act. Consistent with the new section 33 of the amended Act, the Great Lakes Pilotage Authority has established pilotage charges by resolution of its Board, making the Great Lakes Pilotage Tariff Regulations obsolete. Pilotage authorities establish their charges using an explicit methodology that is required to conform to subsection 33.2(1) of the Act. Once approved by its Board, the Great Lakes Pilotage Authority publishes its charges based on this methodology. Any person may file an objection with the Canadian Transportation Agency in accordance with section 34 of the Act.
One-for-one rule and small business lens
The one-for-one rule applies, since a regulatory title is 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.
