The Treasury Board wished to develop broad-based indicators that measure the Government’s success in implementing its regulatory reform agenda. Much has been invested in Canada’s regulatory reform. Jacobs, Cordova & Associates suggested several steps to develop options for developing indicators over time. We assessed other jurisdictions’ experience in designing and reporting on such indicators. We used Canada’s regulatory reform goals and international expertise and mapped a set of possible descriptive and “good practice” indicators that Canada could use to measure progress against its regulatory reform goals. We recommended an implementation plan based on an expanding set of indicators that would start small and build as experience is gained.
