CCOHS Employment Legislation Monthly Report
July 2012
INTRODUCTION
The CCOHS employment legislation monthly report helps you track the legislative changes occurring in Canadian
jurisdictions up to June 2012. 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 employment legislation that is either available in the Canadian Employment 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 Employment
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

incorporated in the respective legislation by CCOHS staff.
3. Repealed Legislation

series as of June 2012 under which they were made (Governing Act).
4. New documents
Documents that will be on the web. 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, Governing Act (if necessary), and Citation.
