I have a couple of examples I can share. Employment and Social Development Canada, for instance, did amend the Canada disability savings regulations, removing the 180-day requirement for the registered disability savings plan grant and bond applications. Having that 180-day requirement in place meant that certainly some beneficiaries of those grants were delayed. Also, it removed the requirement to resubmit applications.
The annual savings for businesses just based on those two changes in that particular department were over $377,000.
Health Canada reduced the red tape burden by amending regulations to allow regulated people, pharmacy technicians, to oversee the transfer of prescriptions from one pharmacy to another. Before, it had to be done by the pharmacist himself or herself. The pharmacist is a small business person, and she or he should be attending to clients and patients, not dealing with this regulatory burden.
With that change to the regulations, not only are they spending time with patients and customers and running their businesses, but the burden on pharmacists is reduced by $15 million a year.
Those are two good, tangible examples of how it has a positive impact on things.
