Government deregulation

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia defines deregulation as follows:

"Deregulation, a term which gained widespread currency in the period 1970-2000, can be seen as a process by which governments remove, reduce, or simplify restrictions on business and individuals with the intent of encouraging the efficient operation of markets."

However this process of removing or reducing restrictions may be putting our citizens' safety at risk as the following articles seem to suggest:


  • Food safety compromised by self-management: Proposed overhaul from Harper means more deregulation

  • Food inspection deregulation a 'disaster':BSE-testing cut to save cash

  • Liberals want Ritz to resign over listeriosis outbreak

  • Maple Leaf: Recall Our Government Instead

  • In Defence of Red Tape: Air safety oversight 'dismantled', It keeps our safety, health and lives together.

  • Food safety first cuts to food inspection have gone too far: take action join the campaign to keep food safe
