| Rationale | Robust and efficient regulations are reviewed periodically and amended as required to align with intended policy objectives, evolving legislation and government priorities. |
| Narrative/Approach | The Regulations Establishing a List of Entities, SOR/2002-284 will be reviewed in 2021 as part of the next evaluation of Canada's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing measures by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF). The FATF conducts peer reviews of each member on an ongoing basis to assess levels of implementation of the FATF Recommendations, providing an in-depth description and analysis of each country's system for preventing criminal abuse of the financial system, including the legislative and regulatory framework. The next FATF assessment will analyse the level of compliance with the FATF 40 Recommendations and the level of effectiveness of Canada's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing system. It will consist of an on-site visit followed by the publication of an evaluation report providing recommendations on how the system could be strengthened. |
| Date of last review or amendment (Year) | The last FATF Mutual Evaluation Report on Canada was published in 2016. The report is based on the on-site visit of November 3-20, 2015. |

| Title or Working Title of the Regulations | Regulations Amending the Secure Air Travel Regulations and the Designated Provision Regulations |
| Enabling Act | Secure Air Travel Act |
| Rationale | Robust and efficient regulations are reviewed periodically and amended as required to align with intended policy objectives, evolving legislation and government priorities. |
| Narrative/Approach | Following Royal Assent of Bill C-59, An Act respecting national security matters, in 2019, regulatory amendments are required to enable centralization of passenger screening against the Secure Air Travel Act (SATA) List, including implementation of a passenger unique identifier that can be used to facilitate travellers requiring redress. Review of these proposed new regulations would occur three years after implementation of the new regulatory proposal which is anticipated in 2023 as part of a statutory requirement for a legislative review. |
| Date of last review or amendment (Year) | Regulations under SATA were initially published in 2015 and have been reviewed as part of the current regulatory development pursuant to Bill C-59. This review has also considered recommendations from the Standing Joint Committee on the Scrutiny of Regulations. |
