The Gazette excerpt provided here does not include the text of the regulation, so the exact changes and provisions are not shown.

What it does#

• The Canada Gazette listing shows that a final regulation called Emergency Measures Regulations (SOR/2022-21) was registered on February 15, 2022.
• The specific actions, rules or directions contained in the regulation are not included in the excerpt you provided, so I cannot describe the concrete measures it imposes.
• Generally, regulations under the Emergencies Act set out how certain emergency powers can be used and implemented. This entry indicates such a regulation was finalized, but the details are missing from the supplied material.

Who's affected#

• The excerpt does not name who is directly affected.
• Broadly, final regulations made under the Emergencies Act can affect federal departments, provincial and municipal governments, businesses, and people living in areas covered by an emergency declaration. Which of those groups are actually affected by this specific SOR/2022-21 cannot be confirmed from the provided text.

Why it matters#

• Regulations tied to the Emergencies Act determine how the federal government can act during national emergencies. That can matter to everyday services, business operations, civil liberties, and public safety—depending on what the regulation says.
• Because the regulation text is not included in the excerpt, anyone who wants to know the concrete effects should look up the full Canada Gazette entry or the consolidated text of SOR/2022-21 to see the specific measures and who they target.
