Certain Regulations Revoked with Coming Into Force of Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009

Date: April 17, 2013

On April 16, 2013, the Ontario government filed O. Reg. 135/13, revoking O. Reg. 573/99 and O. Reg. 222/10 made under the Apprenticeship and Certification Act, 1998.

On the same day, O. Reg. 136/13 was filed, revoking O. Reg. 223/10 made under the Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship Act.

O. Reg. 135/13 and O. Reg. 136/13 came into force on April 8, 2013.

As previously reported, the revocation of the specified regulations is further to the changes enacted by the Ontario College of Trades and Apprenticeship Act, 2009 (“OCTAA”). Among other matters, OCTAA repealed the Apprenticeship and Certification Act, 1998 and the Trades Qualification and Apprenticeship Act effective April 8, 2013, thereby transferring most responsibility for skilled trades and certificates issued under those Acts from the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities to the College.
