Budget 2025 expands the use of regulatory sandboxes to departments and agencies beyond Transport Canada and Health Canada, which already have sandbox authority. These sandboxes help to regularly test new ideas safely before deciding on a permanent rule change. They can only be used for a limited time.
For example, if you're going to implement or make a rule for any department, but you haven't tested whether it would work and you will be achieving objectives in delivering services to Canadians or contributing to the growth of our economy, it would be a loss of time and a loss of resources. A regulatory sandbox gives you the opportunity to test those innovative ideas to see if you can achieve the result. Then you can make rules and regulations so they can benefit Canadians in delivering services.
