About red tape

Yukoners and businesses often deal with complex rules and too much paperwork when working with government. This can make it harder to access services, understand requirements and get things done.

Red tape means the time, effort and cost it takes to: 

  • access government programs; 
  • follow government rules; and 
  • complete required processes. 

We’re working to cut red tape to improve government services and make interactions with government easier.

How we can reduce red tape 

We can cut red tape by: 

  • Reducing paperwork and delays   
    This helps Yukoners and businesses spend less time navigating government processes and more time on what matters to them.
  • Creating clear and simple rules 
    Clear rules make it easier for Yukoners and businesses to understand requirements and comply with them.  
  • Updating and simplifying regulations  
    This makes interacting with government easier for Yukoners. It saves time and money while still protecting health, safety and the environment.
