Explanatory Note for Table of Legislative Changes – 3rd Edition

This Table of Legislative Changes (TLC – 3rd Edition) shows any Act provisions and changes

  • enacted or brought into force between January 1, 2014 and the currency date shown on the Act consolidation,
  • enacted between January 1, 2005 and December 31, 2013 that are not in force as of the currency date shown on the Act consolidation and were not repealed or superseded as of December 31, 2013, and
  • enacted between January 1, 1997 and December 31, 2004, or consolidated in an RS1996 Act's Supplement, that are not in force as of the currency date shown on the Act consolidation and were not repealed, superseded or inoperative as of December 31, 2013.

See the TLCs – 1st and 2nd Editions for all not-in-force and in-force provisions and changes, if any, from the 1997-2013 period and from RS1996 Act Supplements.

This Table may have 1, 2 or 3 parts: "Changes by Regulation" or "Order" (italics) lists provisions authorizing changes by regulation or order in council, "Changes Not in Force" (italics) identifies changes that are not in force, and "Changes in Force" identifies changes that are effective, as of the currency date shown on the Act consolidation.

The "Section" column identifies sections of the Act affected by changes; sections not changed are not listed. The "Change" column shows the nature of the changes (see abbreviations below). The "Citation" column cites the enactments making the changes. The "Into force" column (under "Changes Not in Force") shows how changes are to come into force. The "Effective date" column (under "Changes in Force") indicates when and how changes have come into force.
