Feedback Sought on Format of Annual Federal Statutes

The Publishing and Depository Services Directorate of Public Services and Procurement Canada is looking for feedback about the format of the 2016 print edition of the Annual Statutes of Canada.

According to a message distributed on the listserv of the Canadian Association of Law Libraries:

"In 2016, the Department of Justice modernized the print and PDF appearance of federal legislation. As a result of the new layout for legislation, we [i.e the Government] are planning to produce the upcoming print edition of the Annual Statutes of Canada in a more standard format (8 ½ by 11 inches, longer lines, use of different fonts, etc.). The new Justice Canada layout does not change the wording or meaning of the legislation, but makes it more user‑friendly and easier to read."

"Please let us know by November 16, 2017 if you have any feedback or concerns regarding this modification to the print version of the Annual Statutes of Canada, which requires the repeal of the Publication of Statutes Regulations. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter."

Feedback should be sent to publications AT tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca
