Summary#

This is an order registered as SI/2020-73 on December 9, 2020 that brings section 292 of the Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1 into force on the day the order was registered. The action was taken by the Governor General in Council on the recommendation of the Prime Minister (P.C. 2020-903, November 20, 2020).

What it does#

• Declares that the day this order was registered — December 9, 2020 — is the day on which section 292 of the Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1 comes into force.
• Does not say anything in this notice about the content of section 292 itself.

Who's affected#

• Anyone or any organization subject to whatever rules or powers are set out in section 292 of the Budget Implementation Act, 2019, No. 1 will be affected.
• The notice does not include the text of section 292, so it is unclear from this order alone who exactly will notice a change. To know who is affected, read the text of section 292 in the Act.

Why it matters#

• Fixing a coming-into-force date is the final step that makes a specific part of a law actually active. Once the date is fixed, the duties, rights or powers in section 292 can be acted on.
• For people or organizations governed by that section, this could mean new legal obligations or changes in how a government program operates. If you think section 292 might apply to you, check the Act’s text to see what the section does.
