Error on currency date on e-Laws website (Ontario)

By Ted Tjaden

Are there any concerns from a risk management / liability perspective over the following warning/error message on the e-Laws website I noticed just now:

NOTICE OF ERROR
From December 18, 2009 to December 29, 2009, the e-Laws currency date should have been December 14, 2009.

See the screenshot here:

Do you review all of your legislative research from December 2009 within this time period?

Part of me says “no” since the Legislative Assembly adjourned on December 10, 2009, (to resume on February 16, 2010) and there appears to have been only 2 proclamations gazetted during the time period in question. However, there were a number of regulations promulgated during the dated period the error was in place.

Should the government list out those statutes or regulations that may have been affected during the period of the error?

Thoughts?
