Amendments to the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Cost Recovery Regulations

This regulatory initiative is part of the 2024-2026 Forward Regulatory Plan.

Enabling Acts

Description

Regulatory amendments to the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Cost Recovery Regulations will facilitate alignment with the carbon pricing amendments made to the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Atlantic Accord Implementation Act in 2018. These amendments came into force retroactively on January 1, 2019.

The objective of the regulatory changes will be to allow the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board to recover the costs of administering the provincial carbon pricing regime via regulations.

This regulatory initiative is associated with Natural Resources Canada’s Regulatory Stock Review Plan.
