Regulations

Regulations are a form of law derived from Acts of Parliament. Like Acts, they have binding legal effect and usually state rules that apply generally, rather than to specific persons or situations. However, regulations are not made by Parliament. Rather, they are made by persons or bodies to whom Parliament has delegated the authority to make them, such as the Governor in Council, a Minister or an administrative agency. Authority to make regulations must be expressly delegated by an Act. These are regulations currently in force and associated with Acts administered by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada.
