Parks Canada Agency's Administrative Burden Baseline: Update 2023

The Administrative Burden Baseline provides Canadians with a clear metric on the total number of requirements in federal regulations and associated forms that impose administrative burden on business. This baseline contributes to the openness and transparency of the federal regulatory system.

All federal regulations administered by Parks Canada that have requirements that impose administrative burden on business are identified below. The total 2023 count is 830.

The change in 2023 Administrative Burden Baseline count is 63 more than the 2021‑2022 count of 767. The change is due to changes to forms or schedules attached to or associated with the regulations. There were no regulatory changes that affected the existing count of administrative burden requirements in any of Parks Canada’s regulations.
