All documents are released by the Government of Nunavut for publication. The consolidations included in this section have been prepared for convenience of reference only, and are not an official statement of the law.

* UPDATING

The Nunavut Act, S.C. 1993, c.28 as amended brought Nunavut into being April 1, 1999 (s.3) and provided, at s.29, that the ordinances of the Northwest Territories and "the laws made under them effective March 31, 1999 will be duplicated for Nunavut."

To accommodate modifications of N.W.T. law which were required to be in force April 1, 1999, ss. 29 and 76.05 of the Nunavut Act were amended to allow GNWT to pass certain kinds of legislation on Nunavut's behalf. These powers were exercised in packages of "Division Legislation" which received Royal Assent December 9th, 1998 (6th Session of the 13th Legislative Assembly) and March 29th, 1999 (7th Session of the 13th Legislative Assembly).

After April 1, 1999, only legislative amendments made by the Nunavut Legislative Assembly apply to legislation inherited from the N.W.T. Amendments to NWT legislation after April 1, 1999 DO NOT APPLY to Nunavut except where specifically indicated."
