How often are statutes and regulations updated?
Statutes and regulations are generally uploaded once a month from the Websites of official publishers. Thus, the date of the “last update” of a legislative text corresponds neither to the date of assent nor to the date the text came into effect, but to the date of the most recent upload by CanLII. For users’ convenience, CanLII also keeps and publishes the versions of such texts as they were uploaded on earlier dates. The earlier versions can be a valuable point of departure for establishing the previous state of legislative texts, though they are sometimes identical.
