Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act

Section 12 of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act authorizes entry onto property by an inspector or agent of the Society, together with a veterinarian, in order to find, examine, care for or destroy an animal in distress. The section is amended to permit entry by more than one inspector or agent, together with one or more veterinarians or other persons as the inspectors or agents consider advisable.

Currently, section 12 of the Act provides for the issue of a warrant that may be executed between sunrise and sunset. This is amended so that the warrant must specify the hours when it may be executed and when it expires.

Section 15 of the Act permits the Society to serve an owner with a statement of account for its costs incurred in caring for the owner's animal. Section 15 currently allows service of the statement by mail. This is amended to allow for personal service as well.

Under section 17 of the Act, an owner or custodian of an animal may appeal an order of the Animal Review Board or request return of the animal. This is amended to require more detail in the notice of appeal respecting the remedy or action sought and the reasons for it.

SCHEDULE G
MINISTRY OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES (FORMER MINISTRY OF CONSUMER AND BUSINESS SERVICES)

Bailiffs Act

The Bailiffs Act currently provides for the revocation of an assistant bailiff's registration under the Act and an assistant bailiff's appointment described in clause 3.1 (b) of the Act. The Act is amended to provide, as well, for the revocation of an assistant bailiff's authorization to act as an assistant bailiff described in clause 3.1 (c) of the Act.

Business Corporations Act

The Business Corporations Act currently requires that a consent to act as a first director be provided by each individual who is named in the articles of incorporation as a first director and who is not an incorporator. The Act is amended to require, if the articles are in electronic format and, therefore, not signed, that a consent to act as a first director also be provided by each incorporator who is named in the articles as a first director.

Land Titles Act and Marriage Act

The Schedule updates the terminology of references in each of the Acts to mentally incapable persons.

Liquor Licence Act

The Liquor Licence Act currently prohibits the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming from issuing a licence to sell liquor to an applicant who has a financial relationship with a liquor manufacturer unless the board of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has considered the nature and extent of the financial relationship and it is not contrary to the public interest to issue the licence. The Act is amended to provide for the Registrar, rather than the board, to consider the nature and extent of the financial relationship between the applicant and the manufacturer in order to decide whether it is contrary to the public interest to issue the licence.

Ministry of Consumer and Business Services Act

A provision is added to the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services Act to provide protection from personal liability for the Deputy Minister, the Director and various other persons acting under an Act administered by the Minister, in respect of acts or omissions in the performance in good faith of their duties. The liability of the Crown under the Proceedings Against the Crown Act in respect of the torts committed by its employees and agents is retained.

Ministry of Consumer and Business Services Statute Law Amendment Act, 2004

Amendments made to the Repair and Storage Liens Act that have not yet come into force are repealed.

Partnerships Act

The Partnerships Act prohibits a limited liability partnership that was formed or continued by an agreement governed by the Act from carrying on business under a name other than the firm name it registered under the Business Names Act. The Partnerships Act is amended to allow such a partnership to have a firm name that is in an English form only, a French form only, a French and English combined form, or a French form and an English form where the French and English forms are equivalent but are used separately. This gives limited liability partnerships more flexibility with respect to their firm names and is consistent with the rules for corporate names.

Personal Property Security Act

The Personal Property Security Act currently provides that a document sent by registered mail is deemed to have been given when the addressee actually receives the document or 10 days after the day of registration, whichever is earlier. A purchase-money security interest in inventory or its proceeds is excepted from this rule. The Act is amended to remove the exception. A purchase-money security interest is a security interest in collateral taken by a seller to secure payment of all or part of its price, or taken by a person who gives value for the purpose of enabling the debtor to acquire rights in or to collateral.

The Act currently provides that if, as a result of an inability to operate the personal property security registration system's computer, a security interest cannot be perfected by registration or a registration cannot be discharged within a time period specified in the Act, the Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations extending particular time periods in specified situations or deeming particular unperfected security interests to be continuously perfected in specified situations. The Act is amended to transfer this regulation-making power to the Minister because that would allow speedier action in resolving registration issues resulting from the unavailability of the registration system in cases such as labour disruptions or electricity blackouts.

Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002

The French version of several provisions of the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 is amended to distinguish the term "client" from the term "customer".

Repair and Storage Liens Act

Provisions of the Repair and Storage Liens Act dealing with when a repairer's lien arises and when a storer's lien arises, and with the amount of such liens, are amended to reflect the requirements of the Consumer Protection Act, 2002.

Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act, 1996

A provision is added to the Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act, 1996 to provide protection from personal liability for various persons in respect of acts or omissions in the performance in good faith of their duties or powers under designated legislation or a Minister's order made under designated legislation. Designated legislation is legislation whose administration has been delegated to a designated administrative authority under the Act. The liability, if any, of the designated administrative authority in respect of the acts or omissions of the protected persons is retained.

A designated administrative authority to which the administration of designated legislation is delegated is allowed to set and govern payments that persons are required to make to any fund or account established or continued under the designated legislation delegated to the authority.

Environmental Protection Act and Ontario Water Resources Act

If a risk assessment is accepted under section 168.5 of the Environmental Protection Act, subsection 168.6 (1) of the Act permits a certificate of property use to be issued only at the time notice of the acceptance is given. Subsection 168.6 (1) is amended to remove this restriction. In addition, paragraph 1 of subsection 168.6 (1) is amended to provide that, when a certificate of property use imposes a requirement to take specified action on a property owner, the requirement can only require action on the owner's property, although the adverse effect to which the action is directed need not be on that property.

Under section 168.13 of the Act, a municipality that becomes the owner of property by virtue of the registration of a notice of vesting under Part XI of the Municipal Act, 2001 (sale of land for tax arrears) is given protection from certain orders made under the Environmental Protection Act in respect of a period that runs for five years after the municipality becomes the owner.

Section 168.18 of the Act is a similar provision that applies to a secured creditor who becomes the owner of property by virtue of a foreclosure. These provisions, and similar provisions in the Ontario Water Resources Act, are amended to ensure that the protection from orders does not apply in respect of anything done after the municipality or secured creditor ceases to own the property.

Ontario Water Resources Act

Section 30 of the Ontario Water Resources Act is amended to require notice of discharges that impair the quality of water to be given to the Ministry of the Environment, not the Minister.

Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act

Section 12 of the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act authorizes entry onto property by an inspector or agent of the Society, together with a veterinarian, in order to find, examine, care for or destroy an animal in distress. The section is amended to permit entry by more than one inspector or agent, together with one or more veterinarians or other persons as the inspectors or agents consider advisable.

Currently, section 12 of the Act provides for the issue of a warrant that may be executed between sunrise and sunset. This is amended so that the warrant must specify the hours when it may be executed and when it expires.

Section 15 of the Act permits the Society to serve an owner with a statement of account for its costs incurred in caring for the owner's animal. Section 15 currently allows service of the statement by mail. This is amended to allow for personal service as well.

Under section 17 of the Act, an owner or custodian of an animal may appeal an order of the Animal Review Board or request return of the animal. This is amended to require more detail in the notice of appeal respecting the remedy or action sought and the reasons for it.

Deadlines throughout the Act are based on the passage of a number of days. These are amended to refer to business days.

Police Services Act

The Police Services Act is amended to authorize the appointment of one or more deputy Commissioners of the Ontario Provincial Police and the delegation of powers by the Commissioner to a deputy Commissioner.

SCHEDULE G
MINISTRY OF GOVERNMENT SERVICES
(FORMER MINISTRY OF CONSUMER AND BUSINESS SERVICES)

Bailiffs Act

The Bailiffs Act currently provides for the revocation of an assistant bailiff's registration under the Act and an assistant bailiff's appointment described in clause 3.1 (b) of the Act. The Act is amended to provide, as well, for the revocation of an assistant bailiff's authorization to act as an assistant bailiff described in clause 3.1 (c) of the Act.

Business Corporations Act

The Business Corporations Act currently requires that a consent to act as a first director be provided by each individual who is named in the articles of incorporation as a first director and who is not an incorporator. The Act is amended to require, if the articles are in electronic format and, therefore, not signed, that a consent to act as a first director also be provided by each incorporator who is named in the articles as a first director.

Land Titles Act and Marriage Act

The Schedule updates the terminology of references in each of the Acts to mentally incapable persons.

Liquor Licence Act

The Liquor Licence Act currently prohibits the Registrar of Alcohol and Gaming from issuing a licence to sell liquor to an applicant who has a financial relationship with a liquor manufacturer unless the board of the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario has considered the nature and extent of the financial relationship and it is not contrary to the public interest to issue the licence. The Act is amended to provide for the Registrar, rather than the board, to consider the nature and extent of the financial relationship between the applicant and the manufacturer in order to decide whether it is contrary to the public interest to issue the licence.

Ministry of Consumer and Business Services Act

A provision is added to the Ministry of Consumer and Business Services Act to provide protection from personal liability for the Deputy Minister, the Director and various other persons acting under an Act administered by the Minister, in respect of acts or omissions in the performance in good faith of their duties. The liability of the Crown under the Proceedings Against the Crown Act in respect of the torts committed by its employees and agents is retained.

Ministry of Consumer and Business Services Statute Law Amendment Act, 2004

Amendments made to the Repair and Storage Liens Act that have not yet come into force are repealed.

Partnerships Act

The Partnerships Act prohibits a limited liability partnership that was formed or continued by an agreement governed by the Act from carrying on business under a name other than the firm name it registered under the Business Names Act. The Partnerships Act is amended to allow such a partnership to have a firm name that is in an English form only, a French form only, a French and English combined form, or a French form and an English form where the French and English forms are equivalent but are used separately. This gives limited liability partnerships more flexibility with respect to their firm names and is consistent with the rules for corporate names.

Personal Property Security Act

The Personal Property Security Act currently provides that a document sent by registered mail is deemed to have been given when the addressee actually receives the document or 10 days after the day of registration, whichever is earlier. A purchase-money security interest in inventory or its proceeds is excepted from this rule. The Act is amended to remove the exception. A purchase-money security interest is a security interest in collateral taken by a seller to secure payment of all or part of its price, or taken by a person who gives value for the purpose of enabling the debtor to acquire rights in or to collateral.

The Act currently provides that if, as a result of an inability to operate the personal property security registration system's computer, a security interest cannot be perfected by registration or a registration cannot be discharged within a time period specified in the Act, the Lieutenant Governor in Council may make regulations extending particular time periods in specified situations or deeming particular unperfected security interests to be continuously perfected in specified situations. The Act is amended to transfer this regulation-making power to the Minister because that would allow speedier action in resolving registration issues resulting from the unavailability of the registration system in cases such as labour disruptions or electricity blackouts.

Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002

The French version of several provisions of the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act, 2002 is amended to distinguish the term "client" from the term "customer".

Repair and Storage Liens Act

Provisions of the Repair and Storage Liens Act dealing with when a repairer's lien arises and when a storer's lien arises, and with the amount of such liens, are amended to reflect the requirements of the Consumer Protection Act, 2002.

Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act, 1996

A provision is added to the Safety and Consumer Statutes Administration Act, 1996 to provide protection from personal liability for various persons in respect of acts or omissions in the performance in good faith of their duties or powers under designated legislation or a Minister's order made under designated legislation. Designated legislation is legislation whose administration has been delegated to a designated administrative authority under the Act. The liability, if any, of the designated administrative authority in respect of the acts or omissions of the protected persons is retained.

A designated administrative authority to which the administration of designated legislation is delegated is allowed to set and govern payments that persons are required to make to any fund or account established or continued under the designated legislation delegated to the authority.

Vital Statistics Act

The Vital Statistics Act is amended to change references to the Ministry of Health and Minister of Health to be references to the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care and Minister of Health and Long-Term Care, respectively.
