Ontario Regulations

Page history last edited by Cecilia Tellis 15 years, 8 months ago

4.1 Introduction

Ontario regulations are governed by the Regulations Act, R.S.O. c. R.21.

4.2 Publication of regulations

Under the terms of section 5, regulations are published in the Ontario Gazette no more than one month after their deposit. The Ontario Gazette is published every Saturday. It is available online at: http://www.ontariogazette.gov.on.ca/

Under the terms of section 8, regulations shall be numbered in the order in which they are filed, and a new series shall be commenced each year.

The latest revision of regulations is from 1990 (nine volumes). The regulations are arranged according to their enabling statute. Here you will find regulations passed and in force prior to January 1, 1991.

4.3 Coming-into-force

Under the terms of section 3, a regulation comes into force and has effect on and after the day upon which it is filed, unless it is stated otherwise within the regulation.

4.4 Finding regulations

Consult the Table of Regulations found at the end of each annual volume of ACTS. This table lists all regulations included in the Revised Regulations of Ontario, 1990 and those passed after December 31, 1990 but before January 1, 2002. This table also indicates any amendments made to regulations.

N.B. This table is no longer available as of 2002.

Consult the Ontario Regulations Service R.R.O., 1990 (published by Carswell and available at FTX Statutes SLR 4-7) which includes a cumulative index on loose-leaf (yellow pages) since the last annual volume of acts and its Table of Regulations.

Consult the copies of the Ontario Gazette that are not indexed within the Ontario Regulations Service.

Consult as well Canadian Current Law – Legislation under the heading “Regulations – Ontario” (FTX Reserve KE 173 .C3233482).
