AMENDING CLAUSES


Certain conventions are followed in amending clauses to ensure consistency and clarity. The examples below illustrate the accepted wording and should be followed as appropriate. Particular cases may require consultation with the legislative revisors.

Amending clauses are printed in bold type; the amended provisions and the new text are printed in regular type without quotation marks.

When more than one amendment to the regulations is made, the first amending clause specifies the title of the regulations being amended and includes a footnote that sets out the original SOR number or, if the regulations are included in the last consolidation, their C.R.C number. In subsequent clauses, a reference is made to "the Regulations" (or "the Order").

A. REPEAL

  • 1. Repeal of one section

      X. Section 5 of the XYZ Regulations1 is repealed.

  • 2. Repeal of two consecutive sections

      X. Sections 7 and 8 of the Regulations are repealed.

  • 3. Repeal of more than two consecutive sections

      X. Sections 7 to 9 of the Regulations are repealed.

    Note: In examples 2 and 3 above, any headings between the repealed provisions are implicitly repealed.

      X. The heading before section 5 of the Regulations is repealed.

If they amend different Parts, then they must be in separate clauses.
