L-4.2 - Act respecting the Constitution Act, 1982
Section 1
Disposition versions
1. Each of the Acts adopted before 17 April 1982 is replaced by the text of each of them as they existed at that date, after being amended by the addition, at the end and as a separate section, of the following:
“This Act shall operate notwithstanding the provisions of sections 2 and 7 to 15 of the Constitution Act, 1982 (Schedule B of the Canada Act, chapter 11 in the 1982 volume of the Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom).”
The text so amended of each of these Acts constitutes a separate Act.
No such Act is to be construed as new law except for the purposes of section 33 of the Constitution Act, 1982; for all other purposes, it has force of law as if it were a consolidation of the Act it replaces.
Every provision of such an Act shall have effect from the date the provision it replaces took effect or is to take effect.
Such an Act must be cited in the same manner as the Act it replaces.
