CCOHS Legislation Monthly Report

Introduction
The CCOHS legislation monthly report helps you track the legislative changes occurring in Canadian jurisdictions up
to August 2005. 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

issues of the Canadian enviroOSH Legislation.

series as of August 2005. The title of the repealed legislation is given and, in the case of regulations, the authority
