The Minister of Health announced earlier this year that we have a regulatory transparency and openness framework. She has outlined in the document, and the department has followed through with, improving the transparency around our regulatory environment. We are improving and being more transparent about the decisions we make with respect to regulatory decisions. The forward regulatory plan is just one component of that. Putting that up with a two-year forward plan gives stakeholders and industry a heads up about which regulations will be coming, allowing for predictability and for planning.
