Short Version

Bill 46 makes various amendments to Ontario laws affecting animal health emergency powers, court procedures, jury processes, agriculture, insurance, energy regulation, and animal welfare.

What It Means

Bill 46 makes changes to Ontario laws across several areas. It allows the agriculture minister to issue temporary emergency orders (called "temporary response orders") lasting up to 72 hours to address animal health hazards, with one possible extension. It increases from 50% to 75% the portion of full-time work a retired provincial judge can perform, though this change expires April 1, 2024. It updates jury procedures to allow electronic jury questionnaires as an option, while keeping paper questionnaires available on request. It clarifies that cattle in the Ontario Feeder Cattle Loan Guarantee Program are not covered by certain older laws about boarding stables. It removes references to a type of health practitioner from workplace safety insurance rules and changes how apprentice earnings are calculated for insurance purposes. It updates how the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board meets (now at least four times per year) and changes how its memorandum of understanding with the Minister is handled. It repeals a carbon dioxide injection prohibition from the Oil, Gas and Salt Resources Act and updates related minister titles. It creates a new act to continue the Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals as a corporation. It also fixes some court and provincial offences procedures. Most changes come into force immediately when the bill received Royal Assent on March 22, 2023, though some have different commencement dates.

The bill does not specify what grounds beyond the three listed in the Provincial Offences Act section 11(2) might be available for striking out convictions
