The Canadian Cattlemen's Association

To enable Canadians to participate in the regulatory process by voicing opinions or providing comments as befits our democratic system, the Government of Canada established a process and tool forum for allowing this interaction.

The process

Government departments and agencies, as well as stakeholders from the private sector, are required by law to publish certain information about business activities in the federal government’s official newspaper, the Canada Gazette which is published under the authority of the Statutory Instruments Act and of the Statutory Instruments Regulations .

Formal public notices, official appointments, proposed regulations, regulations and public Acts of Parliament from government departments and agencies, plus miscellaneous public notices from the private sector are published in the official Gazette.

The Gazette serves as a consultation tool between the Government of Canada and Canadians. It serves as official notice to Canadians.

Anyone who may be affected by the proposed regulations can also request background information from the issuing department.
