Editor's note

This map follows the as-filed text of O. Reg. 350/06 for Article 7.6.5.2. of Division B, in which Sentence (1) refers to 'Sentence (2) and (3)' using the singular 'Sentence'. The e-Laws consolidation editorially renders the reference in the plural as 'Sentences', with no amending regulation making the change. This map preserves the as-filed wording.
