Editor's note

In the notes to Table 7.2.7.4., the 'Not Permitted' legend is filed in O. Reg. 350/06 with a space before the dash ('NP – Not Permitted') and the notes heading appears in bold; this map reproduces the source as filed. The e-Laws consolidation closes that spacing ('NP–') and renders the heading in regular weight. These formatting differences were not enacted by an amending regulation.
