SUMMARY

The purpose of this enactment is to require that, with effect from January 1, 2002, all vehicles under federal jurisdiction, including military vehicles, must be equipped with seat belts for the driver and passengers, if they are operated on a public highway.

The design of the seat belts must comply with the regulations and the law of the province in which the vehicles are used. There is a power to exempt vehicles in special cases, but not for vehicles that regularly transport students.
