On December 2, 2011, the Government of Alberta announced the launch of a Red Tape Reduction Task Force.  This task force will engage small business leaders to build a stronger understanding of how red tape affects their operations and identify ways to improve the regulatory environment in which they operate.  

 

As representatives of the small business community, your views and experiences are an important part of this work.  Over the next few weeks, The Red Tape Reduction Task Force will be connecting with stakeholders to provide more details on the task force - as well as obtaining feedback on how to help Alberta businesses remain competitive and promote economic growth in our province.

 

Alberta’s regulatory reform agenda focuses on the quality of regulations. This means assessing the impact of regulations on businesses and stakeholders to ensure regulations are only used when needed and that the right rules are in place to accomplish what was intended – in an efficient manner.
