Erratum: Online News Act Cost Recovery

Summary#

An erratum was issued for the Cost Recovery (Online News Act) Regulations (SOR/2025-51) published in the Canada Gazette. It corrects a printed date in the notice: February 20, 2024 is replaced by February 20, 2025; the HTML version has already been updated. The regulations were originally published in the Gazette on March 12, 2025.

What it does#

• In the printed Canada Gazette (page 1325, under the first paragraph) the line “Gatineau, February 20, 2024” is deleted and replaced with “Gatineau, February 20, 2025.”
• Notes that the online (HTML) version has already been corrected.

Who's affected#

• People who cite or rely on the printed Canada Gazette notice, such as legal researchers, journalists, librarians, and government records staff.
• Anyone checking the publication or signing date for record-keeping or citation purposes.
• It is not clear that anyone else is affected; the correction concerns a printed date only.

Why it matters#

• It fixes a typographical/date error so the public record and citations match the intended year.
• That prevents confusion about when the notice was signed or published and keeps official archives accurate.
