Some Of
Our Achievements
The work of the RCT has resulted in positive economic impact for many sectors across Canada. In the case of the construction codes agreement, limiting variations and aligning adoption is estimated to result in an annual economic benefit of $750 million to $1 billion by 2028.
Health & Safety
Consistent standards for workers related to fall protection; first aid; head, foot, eye, hearing or head protection; personal flotation devices & life jackets.
Simplified Processes
Simplified processes to register pressure equipment for boilers, pressure vessels and fittings across jurisdictions.
Regulations Alignment
Energy efficiency regulations for household appliances such as washers, dryers, ovens, refrigerators, ranges, microwaves, freezers and dishwashers.
Consistent Markings
Consistent markings to ensure safety for users of waterways regulated by the federal and provincial or territorial governments.
How does the RCT Work?
The Canadian Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) establishes a regulatory reconciliation process that will help to address barriers to trade that companies may experience when doing business across provincial and territorial borders.
About the RCT
Reconciliation Agreements
Reconciliation is the outcome of the implementation of a reconciliation agreement whereby
the regulatory measures identified in that reconciliation agreement no longer act as a
barrier to trade, investment, or labour mobility within Canada.
