加拿大政府试图让部长们通过“监管沙箱”暂时免除大多数法律对实体的豁免, Canada’s government seeks to let ministers temporarily exempt entities from most laws via "regulatory sandboxes," sparking debate over rule of law and oversight.

加拿大议员们对政府综合预算法案中的一项规定表示关切,该项规定允许内阁部长通过所谓的“监管沙箱 ” ( 监管沙箱 ) , 暂时将个人或公司排除在大多数联邦法律之外 — — 不包括《刑法》和《利益冲突法 》 。 此举旨在促进创新和经济增长,允许部长在认为符合公共利益时绕过监管,豁免期限最长为三年,并可能延长一次。 Canadian MPs are raising concerns over a provision in the government’s omnibus budget bill that would let cabinet ministers temporarily exempt individuals or corporations from most federal laws—excluding the Criminal Code and Conflict of Interest Act—through so-called “regulatory sandboxes.” The move, aimed at boosting innovation and economic growth, allows ministers to bypass regulations if they believe it serves the public interest, with exemptions lasting up to three years and possibly extended once. 批评者,包括反对派议员和民间社会团体警告说,这可能会破坏法治,削弱公共安全和环境保护,并导致在没有透明或监督的情况下任意作出决定。 Critics, including opposition MPs and civil society groups, warn it could undermine the rule of law, weaken public safety and environmental protections, and enable arbitrary decisions without transparency or oversight. 政府指出自2019年以来在加拿大交通和卫生部使用的类似工具,并指出所有其他7国集团国家都使用这种豁免。 The government points to similar tools used since 2019 at Transport and Health Canada and notes all other G7 nations use such exemptions. 截至2026年2月12日,下议院委员会仍在审查这一条款。 The clause remains under review by a House of Commons committee as of February 12, 2026.
