Protect Ontario by Cutting Red Tape Act, 2025

Amends a broad range of provincial statutes to eliminate or simplify regulatory requirements considered unnecessary or outdated by the government. Part of the province's ongoing annual series of red tape reduction legislation.

Critics argue that broad deregulation through omnibus bills makes it difficult to scrutinise individual changes, and that some provisions quietly erode protections for workers, consumers, or the environment. The government maintains that reducing the administrative burden on businesses encourages investment and economic growth.
