Editor's note

As filed in O. Reg. 350/06, the final Column 2 cell of Table 3.8.1.2. reads 'not less than 50 percent' (one word, 'percent'). The consolidated e-Laws text renders it as two words ('per cent'); this spelling difference was not enacted by any amending regulation, and the as-filed text is retained here.
