Detail Small business creates more jobs in our province than any other sector. But some regulations place undue hardship on business limiting their competitiveness and preventing them from expanding and creating new jobs. Regulations are enacted to protect the public and promote economic prosperity.
Costs are necessary if the regulations are needed to protect health, safety and the environment.
However over time many, many regulations have been enacted. Some are no longer needed. Some are superseded by more up to date measures. Some need to be amended. And in some cases bureaucratic, administrative procedures need to be improved to reduce the paper burden and time lags.
