The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, for years, had a report card on red tape, and every year, the Northwest Territories got an "F," and then eventually, they just took the territories off of the report card, presumably because we were doing so badly at it. One of the first steps that they recommended in measuring red tape is: is the government actually doing an assessment of how much regulation it has? I have seen some of our regulations that were copied and pasted from the federal government decades ago, and I don't think that they ever have been looked at since. Is part of this work to reduce red tape going to be an evaluation of our regulations? Perhaps we could even start by just knowing how much regulation we actually have on the books?
