The only thing I would add is that the regulations have to comply with what Parliament has given the Governor in Council the authority to do. The Governor in Council can't do anything beyond the scope of what you've set out as their limits in the statute itself. The only kind of regulations they can bring are the ones that are enumerated in the statute itself. They couldn't create new offences, for example. They couldn't create a new category of schedules. That would have to be determined by Parliament, not by the Governor in Council.
I would describe the process for developing regulations as being much more flexible. It's a much more inclusive and transparent process in the sense that the government must go out and consult. The directive on how you consult is very clear. The consultations have to be open, they have to be meaningful, and they have to be balanced. As well, they have to actually include that in a document when they do their analysis. It's called a regulatory impact assessment, and they basically have to describe how they've done it before they actually make the regulations. They have to prepublish the regulations. There has to be a period during which these regulations are in the Gazette. They're open to comments by the public as well as the stakeholders they've engaged with. They take these back and then finalize the regulations before they actually table them and gazette them.
So it's quite a process. It does take a long time. This will take about two years.
