This page contains information and resources on Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) Forward Regulatory Plan initiative, along with its multi-year Stock Review Plan for assessing existing regulations.
Forward Regulatory Plan
Forward Regulatory Plans are designed to help Canadians – including businesses, Indigenous Peoples and trading partners – prepare for opportunities to provide feedback during regulatory development and to anticipate future regulatory changes.
Some of the initiatives in this plan may be associated with Natural Resources Canada’s (NRCan) multi-year plan to review its existing regulations, as found in the stock review plan.
The Forward Regulatory Plan will be updated over time to reflect new developments, such as progress in regulatory development or changes to NRCan’s priorities or operational environment.

Regulatory Stock Review Plan
The Regulatory Stock Review Plan is a public list describing planned reviews of regulations that NRCan is proposing within the next two fiscal years. It is intended to give Canadians, including businesses, Indigenous Peoples and trading partners, greater opportunity to inform the reviews of regulations and to plan for the future.
The stock review plan identifies a departmental contact point for the planned reviews. The stock review plan will be adjusted and updated over time to reflect NRCan’s regulatory priorities and changes to the operating environment.
