Reg. 34/2019, sebagai amalan yang diterima umum), diterima di NS (Act s.28(b)). Keperluannya mesti dinilai; hanya apabila dianggap perlu.

Referred to in provincial law: adopted in NL (NLR 36/12; NLR 35/12 s.15 makes a practice a code prohibits a prohibited one), prescribed in SK (Reg 1 s.3-4), named as a defence in NB (Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A) and BC (B.C. Reg. 34/2019, as generally accepted practice), accepted in NS (Act s.28(b)). The need must be evaluated; only when deemed necessary.
