Monthly Update
September 2003
The CCOHS legislation monthly report helps you track the legislative changes occurring in Canadian jurisdictions up
to September 2003. Information contained in this report is restricted to environmental/health and safety legislation
that is either available in the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation series or represents new items. We welcome your
comments on this service. You can contact us at clientservices@ccohs.ca
Each jurisdiction contains information on the following:
1. Legislation in progress/proposed
1A. Acts
Contains the names of current federal, provincial and territorial bills relevant to the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation
series. It is updated monthly. All bills are removed at the conclusion of a parliamentary session and a new series
begins.
Note: If a bill has reached "Royal assent" this does not necessarily mean it is in force (effective). The notation NIF
indicated Not in Force (i.e. will be proclaimed later).
Internet addresses containing proposed bills have been provided for those jurisdictions which supply this
information. Please note that the bills are not official versions and that "first reading" bills may be amended.
1B. Regulations
List of proposals for amendments to current regulations or for new regulations. Some items may represent officially
gazetted regulations which have yet to come into force. Summaries are included where available.
2. Amendments
Contains information about amendments which have come into force between August and September 2003. These
amendments have been incorporated in the respective legislation by CCOHS staff. They will appear on subsequent
issues of the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation.
3. Repealed Legislation
Lists documents repealed by the respective jurisdictions and removed from the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation
series as of August 2003. The title of the repealed legislation is given and, in the case of regulations, the authority
under which they were made (Governing Act).
4. New documents for the 2003-3 issue of the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation CD
Documents that will be on the 2003-3 issue of the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation CD-ROM series. Please note
that some items represent previously existing legislation to increase comprehensiveness while others are newly
enacted legislation. Information is presented under the respective jurisdiction as follows: Title of the document,
