Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses

The proposed amendments are of a "housekeeping" nature and are not expected to have a impact on Canadians or Canadian small businesses. There is also not expected to be any change in administrative costs or administrative burden to businesses.

Consultations

Consultations were not conducted as the amendments are technical, administrative and non-controversial in nature. In addition, they do not impose new restrictions or regulatory burdens on Canadian individuals or businesses.
