USER’S GUIDE
This service will keep subscribers up-to-date on a weekly basis with the status in
both the House of Commons and the Senate of Bills introduced in the current
parliamentary session. It is divided into the following four sections:
NEW THIS WEEK records the latest stage reached by a Bill during the week’s
proceedings. The section lists all Bills that in the past week have received either
first, second or third reading, been reported from Committee, received Royal As-
sent, or been brought into force. Because they rarely become law, Private Mem-
bers’ Public Bills are not noted here until they pass second reading. Private
1Members’ Private Bills are not noted in this Bulletin Service at all. The informa-
tion in this section is always repeated in the STATUS OF BILLS section.
STATUS AND SUMMARY OF BILLS alphabetically lists and reports the sta-
tus of all Bills that are either currently before Parliament or that have received
Royal Assent. A summary of each Bill is provided, where available. The date of
coming into force is noted on its occurrence. Bills prefaced by the letter "C"
originate in the House of Commons; those prefaced by the letter "S" originate in
the Senate. This section is cumulative for the current session.
CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENTS lists Acts affected by amendments
within the copy of the source Bill that has received Royal Assent. The Acts that
are amended in consequence will be listed in alphabetical order in this section as
soon as we receive the Royal Assent copy of the source Bill. The reader is then
referred, in abbreviated format, to the source Bill which contains the amendment.
This source Bill will be found in the "STATUS OF BILLS" section, in alphabeti-
cal order. This section is cumulative for the current session.
PROCLAMATIONS and ORDERS IN COUNCIL lists all Acts passed in a
