    Solution

    The phrase "a stricter regulations" is incorrect because it combines the indefinite article "a" (used with singular nouns) with the plural noun "regulations." The correct usage would be either "stricter regulations" (without "a") or "a stricter regulation" (singular). Therefore, the corrected phrase should be:"for stricter regulations."
