What this regulation does
These regulations remove outdated rules about government-approved postage rates from several Canada Post regulations, following a Budget 2025 law change that eliminated the requirement for Cabinet approval of postage rate changes. Stamp rates themselves are not changing.
Plain-language summary by Legisail.
Business impact
This regulatory change has no meaningful impact on businesses. The amendments simply clean up old regulatory language that referenced government-approved postage rates — rules that are becoming obsolete because Parliament changed how Canada Post sets its rates. The government explicitly confirmed that the one-for-one rule does not apply and that small businesses are not affected. Any business that sends mail through Canada Post will see no change in how postage works or what rates apply — current stamp prices remain the same and are available at canadapost.ca.
