A Note on Statutes and Regulations

Statutes and regulations change from time to time.

  • It can take several weeks between the date the change is approved and the date the online version of the Act is updated.

  • Changes to Regulations are usually made using Orders in Council. Again, there can be a delay between the date of approval of the Order and the date the updated Regulation is available online.
