The parties' promises on Regulations and consumer protection

Regulations and consumer protection platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal

Require relevant federal departments to eliminate unnecessary rules, reduce duplication and overlap with provincial rules, and streamline administration
Require departments to report on their progress within 60 days
Increase transparency and stringency in origin-of-product labelling, with support to help manufacturers and Competition Bureau enforcement

"Make it easy for Canadians to Buy Canadian. Working with retailers, agricultural producers, manufacturers, food and beverage companies, and by maximizing Canada’s supply chain we will increase transparency and increase stringency in origin of product labelling so that it is simple, clear, and easy to identify what is a truly Canadian product. To help make this happen, we will provide support to help manufacturers adapt and for the Competition Bureau to enforce these new requirements." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-21

"Reduce red tape. We will require all relevant federal departments – such as Transport Canada, Natural Resources Canada, and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada – to undertake reviews and to report on progress, within 60 days, on steps to eliminate outdated or unnecessary rules, reduce duplication or overlap with provincial rules, and streamline the administration of rules and the delivery of regulatory decisions." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-21

Conservative

Remove 25% of all rules and regulations within the first two years

"Today, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre announced his plan to eliminate 25 percent of all red tape within his first two years as Prime Minister. This will significantly ease the administrative burden on taxpayers and businesses, waking up our economy from the red tape-induced slumber it has been in after a Lost Liberal Decade." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
Require two regulations be repealed for every new one imposed
Require the Auditor General to verify that, for every $1 in new administrative costs, $2 be cut elsewhere

"Poilievre will also require that for every $1 in new administrative costs, $2 must be cut elsewhere to relieve the government burden that makes it harder for Canadian businesses to compete globally. And to ensure the reductions happen, a new Conservative government will pass a law requiring the Auditor General to verify them every year." — conservative.ca, retrieved 2025-04-17
Cancel new labelling requirements for natural health products

"End new labelling requirements for natural health products that will raise costs." — Change, retrieved 2025-04-23
Launch an oligopoly review of key federally-regulated sectors to increase competition

"Launch an oligopoly review of key federally-regulated sectors to increase competition and lower costs for Canadians." — Change, retrieved 2025-04-23
Implement open banking to increase competition
