SECTION 46

Consequential Amendments
Regarding Bill C-13

46. If Bill C-13, introduced in the third session of the thirty-fourth Parliament and entitled An Act to establish a federal environmental assessment process, is assented to, then, on the later of the day on which this Act is assented to and the day on which that Act is assented to, Section 81 of that Act is repealed.

BEHIND THE WORDS

The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act of 1980 was to be modified by Bill C-13 of the Third Session of the Thirty-Fourth Parliament. It was expected that Bill C-13 would pass and be proclaimed well in advance of the enactment of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992. When it became apparent that this would not occur, and given that Bill C-13 was beyond a reasonable amendment stage, this section was introduced to ensure that the amendment contained in Bill C-13 would not inadvertently apply to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992.
