Amendments to Canada’s Energy Efficiency Regulations, 2016
Enabling Acts
Description
The Government of Canada is committed to improving energy efficiency standards for residential, commercial, and industrial products to save money for Canadians, business, and industry; free up power on Canada’s electricity grid; reduce Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions; and provide federal leadership with provinces and territories.
Implemented in 1995, under the Energy Efficiency Act, the Energy Efficiency Regulations are amended regularly to add or update energy efficiency standards, testing standards, reporting requirements, or labelling requirements for energy-using products. The regulations are designed to provide a consistent set of national energy efficiency performance standards for importers, manufacturers and distributors of products across the country. The regulations encourage a uniform national marketplace for efficient energy-using products that provide consumers with affordable choices. Improving energy efficiency standards provides both economic and environmental benefits to Canada.
Planned Amendments to the Energy Efficiency Regulations
Between 2025 and 2027, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) plans to move forward with the publication of Amendment 19 to the Energy Efficiency Regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part I (Governor in Council) to support red tape reduction efforts by removing outdated standards and move forward with the following products:
Updating Currently Regulated Products
- Clothes dryers (electric)
- Clothes washers
- Dishwashers
- Electric motors
- Freezers
- Gas fireplaces
- Gas furnaces (commercial)
- Ground-source heat pumps
- Integrated clothes washer-dryers
- Ranges
- Recovery ventilators
- Refrigerators and combination refrigerators-freezers
- Televisions
- Water heaters (commercial)
Adding New Products
- Air cleaners
- Computer room air conditioners
- Clothes dryers (gas)
- Heat pump water heaters
- Pool heaters
- Pool pump motors
- Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
Future work
NRCan is continuously assessing the potential impacts of updating energy efficiency standards or adding new products to achieve further energy savings to help Canadian consumers, businesses, institutions, and industries save on energy related costs. Future changes will be considered based on potential energy and greenhouse gas savings, economic savings for consumers and businesses, and alignment opportunities with trading partners.
Market studies and/or technical consultations can be launched to gather information and determine if regulatory actions are required.
Potential Impacts on Canadians, Including Businesses
For proposed amendments, there may be business impacts on manufacturers, importers, and distributors of these products as the amendments will prevent the importation into Canada or shipment across provinces of regulated products that do not meet prescribed efficiency levels for sale or lease. The “One-for-One” Rule and/or the small business lens may apply. Consumers and businesses are expected to save money by purchasing products that are more efficient.
Regulatory Cooperation Efforts (Domestic and International)
The development of regulatory amendments is guided by and consistent with regulatory cooperation agreements designed to minimize regulatory differences within Canada and North American markets. More details about alignment for specific products are provided in technical bulletins published on NRCan’s website once an amendment launches.
Consultations
In accordance with the Cabinet Directive on Regulations, stakeholders have multiple opportunities to contribute to the regulatory process. The approximate timing for the subsequent pre-consultation and pre-publication in the Canada Gazette, Part I, is as follows:
Amendment 19
- Spring 2026: pre-publication in the Canada Gazette, Part I
The exact date for final publication of each amendment will depend on the number and nature of comments received during the public comment period. Final publications are typically within a year of their initial public comment period. Products described in these updates and the timing of publication are subject to decision-making authorities under the Energy Efficiency Act.
General consultation practices are the following:
- Technical bulletins – distribution is targeted to key industry stakeholders, Indigenous partners, federal and provincial stakeholders, and general interest groups who have signed up for NRCan mailing list.
- Workshops/webinars – stakeholders and partners are invited to discuss regulatory requirements under consideration, review comments and offer additional input, especially where there are significant issues raised that are best addressed multilaterally. Upon request, discussions may be held with interest groups or associations.
- Comment Period – Federal departments and agencies allow interested groups, individuals, and Canadians to review and comment on proposed regulations published in Part I of the Canada Gazette before they become official. For more on the process please consult the Canada Gazette webpage where comments are to be submitted.

Amendments to the Explosives Regulations, 2013
Enabling Acts
Description
In spring 2021, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) initiated a comprehensive review of the Explosives Regulations, 2013 to modernize the explosives regulatory regime in line with the Government of Canada’s regulatory modernization agenda.
To address the findings of the review, NRCan has brought forward two consecutive omnibus amendments packages. The first of the two regulatory amendments packages entitled Regulations Amending the Explosives Regulations, 2013 was published in Canada Gazette, Part II on May 22, 2024 and came into force on that date.
The second set of regulatory amendments stemming from the Regulatory Review proposes to address irritants identified by stakeholders related to the transport of explosives, the licensing of explosives manufacturing and storage, and the complexity of fees.
It is expected that this second set of amendments would be pre-published in the Canada Gazette, Part I in 2025. Subject to review of comments during the pre-publication period, these regulatory changes may be published in Canada Gazette, Part II in 2026.
Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses
The Canadian explosives sector is made up of diverse stakeholders ranging from multinational resource companies to thousands of small shops who may sell fireworks, to individuals who may own firearms for sport shooting and hunting and avalanche mitigation teams. The proposed amendments to the Explosives Regulations, 2013 are expected to be generally positive for Canadians including businesses. Industry has expressed their support for the proposed amendments, particularly the improvements to efficiency, including the reduction in administrative burden, as well as the focus on adhering to modern industry practices.
It is expected that all proposed amendments to modernize the Explosives Regulations, 2013 would have a positive impact on individual Canadians. Enhancing the safety and security of the explosives sector, and thereby further reducing the risk of an unintended explosion or theft of an explosive by someone with nefarious intent, would benefit all Canadians, as well as sector employees. These proposed amendments are not expected to have a significant impact on international trade or investment, including Canadian import and export of explosives.
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)
The proposed amendments to the Explosives Regulations, 2013 aim to, where possible, reduce stakeholder cost and burden stemming from misalignment with modern industry practices and the regimes of other jurisdictions. In the development of these proposed amendments, NRCan has conducted targeted comparative analysis of international partners’ regimes, as well as of Canadian provinces and territories, with the aim of identifying areas for further alignment where appropriate.
Consultations
NRCan has conducted multiple phases of consultation with explosives sector stakeholders as well as counterparts in other federal government departments and provincial and territorial governments, and law enforcement. Starting in 2021 with the launch of the Regulatory Review, NRCan reached out to stakeholders to help identify regulatory irritants. As amendments were developed, NRCan consulted with all stakeholders to seek feedback to both support development and to help identify the impact of each amendment.
Beginning in June 2023, NRCan began pre-consultations on this second set of proposed amendments to the Explosives Regulations, 2013. Following that consultation period, NRCan consulted with stakeholders on proposed amendments to the fee regime from December 11, 2023 to January 30, 2024. NRCan conducted additional consultations with targeted stakeholder groups to support the development of certain provisions in the second set of amendments.
Further Information and Departmental Contact
For further information, please contact NRCan’s Explosives Program at ERDmms@nrcan.gc.ca.
Date first included in Forward Regulatory Plan
The proposed amendments were added to NRCan’s Forward Regulatory Plan in 2021-2022.
Designated Officers Regulations
Enabling Acts
Description
The Canadian Energy Regulator Act (CER Act) came into force on August 28, 2019. The CER Act replaced the National Energy Board with the Canada Energy Regulator (CER).
The Designated Officer Regulations would allow officers, designated by the CER’s Chief Executive Officer, to perform certain powers, duties, and functions of the Commission that are technical or administrative in nature and would set out the circumstances and processes for doing so.
Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses
This initiative will enhance operational efficiency and reduce regulatory burden, aligning with broader efforts to cut red tape and streamline government processes.
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)
As part of their overall engagement efforts, departmental staff are consulting with provincial and federal regulators with similar delegation programs to learn best practices and help inform regulatory development and implementation plans.
Consultations
Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and the National Energy Board released a Discussion Paper on the regulatory proposal on October 15, 2018, and an opportunity to provide input and comments was provided until November 28, 2018. The comments received are available online.
Given that the last consultation on the regulatory proposal was in 2018, NRCan and the CER will evaluate the need for further consultations.

Indigenous Ministerial Arrangements Regulations
Enabling Acts
Description
The Canadian Energy Regulator Act (CER Act) came into force on August 28, 2019. The Indigenous Ministerial Arrangements Regulations are a feature of the CER Act that would enable the Minister to enter into arrangements with Indigenous governing bodies for carrying out the purposes of the CER Act and may authorize Indigenous governing bodies to exercise powers, duties, or functions under the CER Act as outlined in the arrangement.
An Indigenous governing body is defined in the CER Act as a council, government or other entity that is authorized to act on behalf of an Indigenous group, community or people that holds rights recognized and affirmed by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982.
As per Section 78 of the CER Act, the Governor in Council may make regulations respecting the Minister’s power to enter into arrangements, including regulations:
- respecting how they are to be entered into;
- respecting the circumstances under which they may be entered into;
- respecting their contents; and,
- varying or excluding any provision of this Act or a regulation made under it as that provision applies to the subject matter of the arrangement.
Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses
The proposed regulations are expected to clarify how Indigenous governing bodies’ involvement may be enhanced in the lifecycle oversight of federally regulated energy projects, as part of the Government of Canada’s efforts to advance reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. There is a need for these proposed regulations to be created in a cautious and thoughtful manner to align with United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (UNDA) and in consideration of the Building Canada Act and efficiencies of the Red Tape Reduction Initiative.
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)
As part of the overall engagement efforts, NRCan is working closely with federal regulators developing similar delegation programs to learn best practices and help inform regulatory development and implementation plans.
Engagement
IMARs is in the second of five phases outlined in the National Engagement Strategy. In 2025-26, NRCan will continue to engage with Indigenous groups, stakeholders, and other interested parties to seek feedback to inform the development of the proposed regulations. Further engagement in subsequent years may also be planned as part of the regulatory design and development phases.
Information on when engagement opportunities will occur will appear on Natural Resources Canada’s Public consultations and engagements webpage and the Canada Energy Regulator's Consultation and Engagement webpage.

Nuclear Liability and Compensation Regulations
Enabling Acts
Nuclear Liability and Compensation Act
Rationale
Amendment to the Nuclear Liability and Compensation Regulations (NLCR) to introduce liability limits for small modular reactors (SMRs) and to update existing liability limits for reactors, radioactive waste facilities and nuclear fuel facilities.
Section 24 of the Nuclear Liability and Compensation Act provides authority for the Governor in Council to, by regulation, amend the amount of operator’s liability. Additionally, subsection 26(1) of the Act requires that the Minister review the limit of operator’s liability referred to in subsection 24(1) (currently $1 billion) on a regular basis and at least once every 5 years.
Narrative
The Nuclear Liability and Compensation Act, an Act respecting civil liability and compensation for damage in case of a nuclear incident, establishes liability limits for operators of nuclear installations in Canada. Amendment to the supporting Nuclear Liability and Compensation Regulations, made under the Act,isneeded to introduce liability limits for small modular reactors (SMRs) and to update existing liability limits for reactors, radioactive waste facilities and nuclear fuel facilities.
Section 24 of the Act provides authority for the Governor in Council to, by regulation, amend the amount of operator’s liability. Additionally, subsection 26(1) of the Act requires that the Minister review the limit of operator’s liability referred to in subsection 24(1) on a regular basis and at least once every 5 years.
When a lower limit than what is specified in subsection 24(1) is set for an operator’s nuclear installation in the regulations, the Government indemnifies the difference so that in the event of an incident the amount set out under subsection 24(1) of the Act ($1 billion) is available to cover compensable damages.
In carrying out the review of the liability limit under subsection 24(1), the Act requires that the Minister must have regard to:
- changes in the Consumer Price Index, as published by Statistics Canada under the authority of the Statistics Act;
- financial security requirements under international agreements respecting nuclear liability; and
- any other considerations that the Minister considers relevant.
Natural Resources Canada will engage with the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission, Atomic Energy of Canada Limited, the Nuclear Waste Management Organization, nuclear operators, insurers, and international nuclear liability experts, and consider international commitments and other international standards/precedents when reviewing and amending operators’ liability limits.
As part of the amending process, the public will have an opportunity to comment during pre-publication in Canada Gazette, Part I.

Canada-Nova Scotia and Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations
Regulations Amending the Canada-Nova Scotia and Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations
Enabling Acts
- Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation and Offshore Renewable Energy Management Act
- Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation and Offshore Renewable Energy Management Act
Description
Amendments to Part III of the Canada-Nova Scotia Petroleum Resources Accord Implementation and Offshore Renewable Energy Management Act and the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation and Offshore Renewable Energy Act (the “Accord Acts”) provide the legislative frameworks for oversight of the full life cycle of offshore renewable energy (ORE) projects in the Canada-Nova Scotia and Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador offshore areas.
The proposed Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations and Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations would operationalize the amendments to Part III of the Accord Acts by establishing comprehensive requirements respecting work and activities related to ORE projects in the Canada-Nova Scotia and Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador offshore areas, for the purposes of safety and environmental protection. The proposed Regulations would align with the requirements set out in the Canada Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations.
The proposed Regulations would also consequentially amend the Canada-Nova Scotia Offshore Petroleum Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations and the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Administrative Monetary Penalties Regulations to update terminology and Schedule 1, Part 1, to align with the amendments made to the Accord Acts, and to introduce Schedule 1, Part 3, which references the relevant provisions from the proposed ORE Regulations that would be subject to administrative monetary penalties.
Potential impacts on Canadians, including businesses
The proposed Regulations would establish the framework for ORE projects to be carried out in a manner that protects safety and the environment, which could contribute to federal net zero emissions targets and provincial renewable energy targets. The benefits arising from this nascent industry cannot be solely attributed to the proposed Regulations, but rather are associated with the complete legislative regime for ORE under the Accord Acts.
The proposed Regulations could affect a minimal number of Canadian small businesses should they apply to become operators of smaller scale ORE projects, while large scale wind energy operators are not expected to meet the definition of “small business”.
The proposed regulations are not expected to involve significant impacts on international trade or investment
Regulatory cooperation efforts (domestic and international)
The proposed Regulations are not related to an international agreement or obligation, nor do they have any impacts related to a work plan or commitment under a formal regulatory cooperation forum; however, they are being developed in partnership with the Governments of NS and NL, under the joint management framework for the Canada-NS and Canada-NL offshore areas.
The proposed Regulations would align with the Canada Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations made under the CER Act, allowing for nearly identical regulations across Canada’s three offshore administrative areas. This alignment will promote consistency in application and implementation of the three regulations and reduce any potential confusion for investors to understand the “Canadian regime.”
Consultations
The Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations (ORER) Initiative webpage contains links to early policy discussion and technical requirements documents that served as the foundation for the development of the Canada Offshore Renewable Energy Regulations to which these proposed Regulations are largely aligned.
