AGREEMENTS, CONVENTIONS, TREATIES AND SIMILAR DOCUMENTS

When a proposed regulation contains an agreement, convention, treaty or similar document in a schedule, it is necessary for the document set out in the schedule to be checked against the original document or, if the original document is not available, against an authentic copy, such as a certified copy. It is the responsibility of the regulatory department or agency to provide the original document or an authentic copy of it to the appropriate regulations section for examination.

The content of the English and French versions must be exactly the same as in the original documents, except that obvious typographical errors may be corrected. It is not necessary to follow the layout and style of type of the original document.

Note that the titles of agreements, conventions or treaties in a regulation are written in ordinary type, not in italics.
