Erratum: Income Support Payment Amount Regulations

Summary#

This is an erratum (correction) published on July 8, 2020 to the Income Support Payment Amount Regulations: SOR/2020-62. It corrects a note about where the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement is printed and changes a short parenthetical line so it no longer mentions the Interim Order Amending the Employment Insurance Act (Employment Insurance Emergency Response Benefit). This is an editorial fix, not a change to the regulation’s substance.

What it does#

• Removes the note under section 2 that said the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement follows SOR/2020-61, Interim Order Amending the Employment Insurance Act (Employment Insurance Emergency Response Benefit).
• Replaces that note with a statement saying the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement (PDF) is found at page 627, with some wording changes.
• Changes the line under the title of the statement from “(This statement is not part of the Regulations or the Interim Order.)” to “(This statement is not part of the Regulations.)” — removing the reference to the Interim Order.

Who's affected#

• People who read or cite the Canada Gazette text for these regulations.
• Legal publishers, lawyers, researchers, and journalists who rely on the Gazette for where supporting documents (like the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement) are located.
• The general public and most businesses are unlikely to notice any practical change.

Why it matters#

• It clears up where the supporting analysis (the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement) is printed in the Gazette, which helps anyone trying to find or cite it.
• Removing the mention of the Interim Order in the parenthetical reduces possible confusion about whether that statement is part of the Interim Order.
• The correction is editorial: it does not alter the rules, payment amounts, or eligibility in the Income Support Payment Amount Regulations.
