Correction to United Nations Act regulations date

Summary#

This is an erratum in the Canada Gazette correcting a small but formal detail in the final regulations titled Regulations Amending Certain Regulations Made Under the United Nations Act (Miscellaneous Program) (SOR/2023-70). The notice replaces the original date P.C. 2023-316 March 9, 2023 with P.C. 2023-316 March 31, 2023. The erratum was published on May 10, 2023.

What it does#

• Identifies an error in the previously published regulations (page 1080 under the United Nations Act).
• Deletes the line showing P.C. 2023-316 March 9, 2023.
• Replaces it with P.C. 2023-316 March 31, 2023.
• No other changes to the text of the regulations are recorded in this erratum.

Who's affected#

• Legal publishers, law libraries, and anyone who cites official regulatory texts.
• Lawyers, researchers, and government staff who track exact dates of Privy Council approvals (noted as P.C. 2023-316).
• The general public is unlikely to notice any practical change from this correction.
• The erratum does not say whether this change affects the legal effect or start date of the regulations.

Why it matters#

• Official dates are used for accurate citation and legal records. Fixing the date keeps the government’s official record consistent.
• In narrow cases, the exact Privy Council date can matter for legal history or precise timelines.
• For most people and routine compliance, this is an administrative correction with no obvious day-to-day impact.
