Regulation - LGIC
Summary of Proposed Changes to Regulations Related to Secure Treatment (Extraordinary Measures) under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017
Regulation Number(s):
Instrument Type:
Regulation - LGIC
Bill or Act:
Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017
Summary of Decision:
Regulation in force on April 30, 2018.
Analysis of Regulatory Impact:
As part of its obligations under the Reducing Regulatory Cost for Business Act, 2017 (RRCBA), the ministry has conducted the Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) to identify incremental direct compliance costs, including administrative costs, to for-profit child and youth service providers (businesses). Under the RRCBA, the ministry is required to report on total incremental administrative costs to businesses. The majority of child and youth service providers subject to the CYFSA are not-for-profit service providers and are not included in this analysis.
The proposed regulatory provisions identified in this posting fall under the General Consolidated LGIC regulation (O. Reg. 155/18). Total annual incremental administrative costs to businesses associated with the General Consolidated LGIC regulation as a whole are estimated to be $480,000.

Posting Date:
December 11, 2017
Summary of Proposal:
The purpose of this document is to seek feedback on new and proposed changes to regulatory requirements related to secure treatment under the Child, Youth and Family Services Act, 2017 (CYFSA).
On June 1, 2017 the CYFSA received Royal Assent. When the CYFSA is proclaimed, it will replace the Child and Family Services Act (CFSA).
The existing regulations related to secure treatment in Regulation 70 under the Child and Family Services Act, 1990 are administrative in nature and largely deal with the forms to be used. No major changes to the existing regulations in Part IX related to secure treatment are being proposed. New regulations are being proposed in Part VII, Extraordinary Measures, of the CYFSA in relation to the use of mechanical restraint in secure treatment settings, which will be posted and available for public comment separately.
The focus of this summary is to outline where changes to existing regulatory provisions are proposed.
