I think this is an important clarification.
The offset, the one-for-one, occurs within a minister's portfolio. There may be burden added, in the form of a new regulatory package, to one sector or one group of businesses. The offset works within the portfolio. The reduction in the burden may occur somewhere else. So if I pick on, say, Fisheries and Oceans, there may be a new burden on the aquaculture industry. The burden reduced may be on fishers in Atlantic Canada or on the west coast. That responsibility is managed by ministers within their portfolio. The rule and the act both provide for that flexibility, so it's not “You get new burden, and we take burden away from you.” It's a general application.
