We do not anticipate that previously released information will need to be republished. Once Bill C-58 comes into force, proactive publication must be in accordance with the requirements of the bill. Prior to that, certain material may be published according to existing policy requirements that may vary somewhat from Bill C-58’s provisions.

The transition provisions of Bill C-58 provide that the proactive publication requirements apply to information or materials that were prepared on or after the date of coming into force of the requirements. The requirements will come into force on Royal Assent of the bill.
