Explanatory Note for Table of Legislative Changes – 3rd Edition

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

  • 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1, 2005 and December 31, 2013 that are not in force as of the currency date shown on the Act consolidation and were not repealed or superseded as of December 31, 2013, and

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.
