Lands Surveys Tariff
Enabling Act
Rationale
The current regulation on Lands Surveys Tariff is outdated and no longer in use. It was identified as a regulation that can be repealed. It was recommended that NRCan maintain it until the department has a requirement to meet the “One-for-One” requirement.
Narrative
The Canada Lands Surveys Act dates back to 1960 with minor amendments along the way to reflect policy changes. The Act affects land management in Canada’s Northern Territories, on Indigenous lands and in Canada’s Oceans. Territorial devolution, reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples, Canada’s extended territory over its Continental Shelf, and digitization have considerably changed the landscape since 1960. The Department started a review of the Act in 2020-2021 that will likely lead to changes in Regulations.
