Service Standards for High-Volume Regulatory Authorizations

Service standards publicly state the level of performance that citizens can reasonably expect to encounter from Environment Canada under normal circumstances.

They benefit the many individuals and organizations who must seek permission from the federal government either to conduct a regulated activity or be exempted from specific obligations.
