Forward Regulatory Plan

The Canada Border Service Agency’s Forward Regulatory Plan for 2022 to 2024

• is a publicly available list, with descriptions, of planned or anticipated regulatory changes (regulatory initiatives) that the CBSA 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
• includes any regulatory initiatives that are associated with the CBSA’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
• the CBSA’s contact information

The Forward Regulatory Plan will be updated over time to reflect, for example:

• progress in regulatory development
• changes to the CBSA’s regulatory priorities or its operating environment
