Editor's note

The caption of Table 7.4.9.3. is filed in O. Reg. 350/06 in the singular form 'Forming Part of Sentence 7.4.9.3.(1) and 7.4.10.2.(1)'; this map reproduces the source as filed. The e-Laws consolidation pluralizes it to 'Forming Part of Sentences ...' to agree with the two sentence references. This wording difference was not enacted by an amending regulation.
