Description

This is an omnibus regulation made under subsection 4(1) of the Legislative Instruments Re-enactment Act, S.C. 2002, c. 20 (the “Act”). The Act, which came into force on June 13th, 2002, re-enacts, or provides for the re-enactment of, certain instruments of a legislative nature that were originally enacted in only one official language in order to resolve any uncertainty with respect to their legal validity.

Legislative instruments that were enacted in one official language but published in both official languages are automatically and retroactively re-enacted in both languages by section 3 of the Act. Section 4 of the Act confers regulation-making powers on the Governor in Council to retroactively re-enact, in both official languages, legislative instruments that were enacted in only one official language and either published in that language only or exempted by law from the requirement to be published in a government publication.

These Regulations re-enact orders under the responsibility of the Department of Justice declaring that the Crown has ceased to have control or occupation of property described therein. It also re-enacts regulations and orders under the responsibility of the Department of the Environment implementing in domestic law an international convention for the protection of migratory birds and establishing defined areas as bird sanctuaries and protecting specific rights of the owners or users of these areas.

A re-enacted legislative instrument set out in the schedule is deemed to be, and to have always been, the legislative instrument it replaces and, although it may also be referred to by its title in either official language, the re-enacted legislative instrument shall be cited in the same manner as the legislative instrument it replaces.

A re-enacted legislative instrument set out in the schedule that was repealed or that otherwise ceased to have effect prior to the coming into force of these Regulations is not by virtue of these Regulations revived in respect to any period subsequent to its repeal or ceasing to have effect.

The re-enacted legislative instruments set out in the schedule are now deemed to have been validated for purposes of language enactment requirements under section 133 of the Constitution Act, 1867.

Previous regulations re-enacted instruments under the responsibility of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. More regulations will follow to deal with instruments of other federal departments or agencies.

The Act requires that the Minister of Justice submit a report on the review of the implementation and operation of section 4 of the Act to each House of Parliament by June 13 2008, or such further time as may be authorized by both Houses of Parliament.

Alternatives

There are no other practical alternatives. The Act was enacted expressly to address the issue of unilingually enacted legislative instruments. Pursuant to subsection 4(7) of the Act, upon the expiration of six years after the coming into force of the Act, any unilingual legislative instrument that has not been re-enacted in both official languages is repealed.

Consultation

During the course of completing a review of the implementation and operation of section 4 of the Act, extensive consultation was held with affected stake-holders. Each government department and agency was responsible for researching and identifying any instruments under its administration that were likely to be affected by the Act. Educational sessions were offered by the Department of Justice. Guidance and research was also provided in response to legal issues raised during the course of the research conducted.
