As Trump orders bureaucrats to slash regulations, Canada shares lessons learned
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump has ordered his bureaucrats to slash regulations — for every one created, the U.S. president wants them to eliminate two. Now comes the hard part of actually implementing the campaign promise.
Enter Canada.
The Canadian government intends to share lessons it has learned after years of experience with a related policy. It’s among the topics of conversation as Treasury Board President Scott Brison arrives Friday for a two-day visit to Washington.
Trump has explained his plan as an important signal to businesses: “For every one regulation, two are out. So we knock out two,” the president said during a meeting with the retail industry this month.
