Editor's note

As filed in O. Reg. 350/06, the column-heading row of Table 9.24.2.5. carries a typographical error: the second heading reads 'Column 1' (duplicating the first) where it should read 'Column 2'. The current e-Laws consolidation silently corrects this to 'Column 2', with no amending regulation making the change. This map preserves the heading as filed.
