Industry

In Canada, the regulatory burden continues to climb after unconvincing attempts by the federal and provincial governments to reduce red tape. Many industries inside Canada and internationally deal with jungles of administration that serve neither society’s nor businesses’ interests.

Across the world, governments have taken a haphazard approach to how they balance the benefits of regulation with their negative impacts on businesses.

In this environment, it’s critical that businesses have clear and transparent analysis of regulation to support their industry’s international and national competitiveness.

Comprehensive socioeconomic analysis can be used to break deadlocks between the government and key stakeholders by informing decision makers about how each will be impacted. It can clarify the pros and cons of a policy and identify who will be affected.
