CCOHS Legislation Monthly Report
December 2004
Introduction
The CCOHS legislation monthly report helps you track the legislative changes occurring in Canadian jurisdictions up
to December 2004. To assist you in tracking changes to this report from the previous month,
the new text will appear in purple. 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

gazetted regulations which have yet to come into force. Summaries are included where available.
2. Amendments

These amendments have been incorporated in the respective legislation by CCOHS staff. They will appear on
subsequent issues of the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation.

series as of November 2004. The title of the repealed legislation is given and, in the case of regulations, the authority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 2004-4 Issue of the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation CD
Documents that will be on the 2004-4 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
