SUMMARY

This enactment re-enacts, or provides for the re-enactment of, certain instruments of a legislative nature that were originally enacted in only one official language in order to resolve any uncertainty with respect to their legal validity. Legislative instruments that were enacted in one official language but published in both official languages are automatically and retroactively re-enacted in both languages. The enactment also confers regulation-making powers on the Governor in Council to retroactively re-enact, in both official languages, legislative instruments that were enacted in one official language and published in that language only or not published at all.
