Forward Regulatory Plan
The Public Service Commission of Canada’s Forward Regulatory Plan for 2026 to 2028:
- is a publicly available list, with descriptions, of planned or anticipated regulatory changes (regulatory initiatives) that the Public Service Commission of Canada (PSC) intends to propose or finalize within a 2-year period
- may include regulatory initiatives that are planned to come forward over a longer time frame and that are indicated as long-term
Some of the initiatives in this plan may be associated with the PSC’s multi-year plan to review its existing regulations (stock review plan).
Forward Regulatory Plans are intended to help Canadians, including businesses, Indigenous peoples and trading partners, plan for:
- opportunities to provide their feedback during regulatory development
- future regulatory changes
The Forward Regulatory Plan briefly describes each regulatory initiative and includes information such as:
- who may be affected by a regulatory initiative
- regulatory cooperation efforts undertaken or planned
- opportunities for public consultation
- links to related information or analysis
- PSC’s contact information
The Forward Regulatory Plan will be updated over time to reflect, for example:
- progress in regulatory development
- changes to PSC’s regulatory priorities or its operating environment
Consult Acts and regulations for:
- a list of acts and regulations administered by the PSC
