Regulations Amending
Certain Regulations Relating to the Determination of
Interest Rates
(SOR/97-557,
OIC 1997-1819)
These amendments, which
essentially delete references to Weekly, are
consequential to changes in the issuance pattern of
Government of Canada treasury bills announced on August
5, 1997 through the Department of Finance's Press Release
97-067. The weekly cycle for treasury bill auctions has
been replaced, as of September 18, 1997, by a two-week
cycle and the term of three-month treasury bills has been
extended by seven days.
The Canadian Pension Plan
Regulations, the Income Tax Regulations, the Interest
Rate (Excise Tax Act) Regulations and the Interest Rate
for Customs Purposes Regulations all include rules for
determining the interest rate applicable to certain
amounts payable or receivable under the Acts pursuant to
which those Regulations have been made.
For the purposes of the
above-mentioned regulations, the interest rate applicable
is computed by reference to the average equivalent yield
of Government of Canada treasury bills sold at weekly
auctions, that mature approximately three months after
their date of issue. In effect, the interest rates will
now be tied to the treasury bills when they are
auctioned.

Deletion of Sensitivity
Discs and Tablets from Schedule D to the Food and Drugs
Act (Schedule No. 1074)
(SOR/97-560,
OIC 1997-1824)
This amendment removes
sensitivity discs and tablets from the drugs listed in
Schedule D to the Food and Drugs Act. Schedule D drugs
are biological drugs which must comply with Division 4
requirements of the Food and Drugs Regulations.
As a result of the
amendment, sensitivity discs and tablets will be exempt
from the stringent regulatory framework developed for
high risk products.
These products are
considered to be in vitro diagnostic products and will be
subject to section 3(1) of the current Medical Device
Regulations, which are being strengthened.
In January 1997, a
regulatory amendment (Schedule 624) was published which
revoked Division 5 of the Food and Drugs Regulations.
Division 5 contained specific requirements for
sensitivity discs and tablets. However, the removal of
sensitivity disc and tablets from Schedule D to the Food
and Drugs Act was inadvertently omitted.
Sensitivity discs and
tablets will be exempt, under section C.01.0039 of the
Food and Drugs Regulations, from application of Part C of
the Regulations. Currently Part C requires fabricators,
importers and distributors of sensitivity discs and
tablets to comply with the Establishment Licensing
Framework and other drug regulatory requirements and
their associated fees. Currently, there are four Canadian
distributors of sensitivity discs and tablets.

Federal Child Support Guidelines,
amendment
(SOR/97-563,
OIC 1997-1827)
This amendment to the
Guidelines corrects technical errors in the Guidelines
which complicate some cases and give unintended results
in others.
The changes include:
- a new flexibility
whereby if, before a child support order is made, if a
court is informed that the paying parent's province of
residence will change, the court can apply the table
under subsection 3(3) for that province (the tables
establish child support based on a payor's ability to
pay, and the tables vary from province to province).
- for the purposes of
section 14, circumstances for variation, a
clarification that only one of the listed
circumstances in section 14 needs be met;
|
Divorce Act, section 26.1
Jus/97-551-1
To be published in Canada

|
- a correction to the
English version of subsection 25(4), to add the words
"with the request" which had been inadvertently
dropped during the initial drafting process. No
correction is made to the French version.
- a correction to a
typographical error in the Yukon tables at the first
two income levels (Schedule I, Federal Child Support
Tables);
- removal of the
definition of "average tax rate" (Schedule II,
Comparison of Household Standards of Living Test)
because all references to "average tax rate" in
Schedule II are also removed with these amendments;
- a correction of the
definition of "household" (Schedule II, Comparison of
Household Standards of Living Test) to include the
child of a common law partner living with the spouse
as a member of the household;
- a correction to the
undue hardship test (Schedule II, Comparison of
Household Standards of Living Test, step 2);
subparagraphs a) and b) are corrected to state that
the gross amounts of spousal and child support are to
be used to calculate a person's income under the
Standard of Living Test. Since taxes are already taken
into account in Step 1, there is no need to calculate
them again in Step 2.
- rewording subparagraph
(a)(i) to clearly state that no amount should be
deducted for a second family even if that second
family is found to be the cause for undue hardship
since consideration of the second family is already
taken into account in the household size for the
application of the Low Income Measures amount.
- an amendment to
subparagraphs (a)(ii) and (b)(i) to allow for a person
to deduct from or add to his or her income only the
Table amount of child support or the amount as found
appropriate by the court and not the Table amount plus
special expenses.
- a clarification such
that subparagraph (a)(iii), states that an amount paid
in respect of a child to whom the order in
subparagraph (a)(ii) relates to should not be deducted
again under subparagraph (a)(iii).
- a correction to
paragraph 1(i) [CPP contributions and EI premiums -
Schedule III (Adjustments to Income)] to reflect the
proper deduction as described in paragraph 8(1)(1.1)
of the Income Tax Act, which is specifically referred
to in this provision, which provides that the
deduction is only for CPP and EI amounts which are
paid for by a spouse who is an employee for another
employee who is performing the spouse's duties of
employment.
- the addition in Child
Support (Schedule III (Adjustments to Income)),
Section 2 of the word "received" after "child support"
to clarify the intent that only the recipient can
deduct this amount, to ensure that payor's ability to
pay is not based on child support payments received
for another child.
- the addition, for
Partnership income (Schedule III (Adjustments to
income), Section 12) of the words "or a sole
proprietorship" after "partnership" to account for
situations where a sole proprietor requires a
deduction for the purposes of capitalization.

Air Transportation Tax
Regulations, 1992, amendment
(SOR/97-564;
OIC 1997-1828)
The amendments adjust the
amount of tax applicable on the transportation of a
person by air per subsection 11(1) of the Excise Tax Act,
in cases where the transportation is subject to the ad
valorem air transportation tax imposed by the United
States, and where the amount is paid or payable outside
Canada.
The maximum decreases to
$15.00 from $27.50 for all amounts paid or payable on or
after January 1, 1998, for emplacements on or after March
1, 1998.
The calculation of tax
payable up to the new maximum will be based upon 3% of
the amount paid or payable, plus $2, a decrease from the
existing formula of 5% of the amount paid or payable,
plus $4.
This decrease is due to the
fact that the government has turned over the operation of
the air navigation system to Nav Canada, a private
Canadian corporation, as of November 1, 1996, and is
phasing out the air transportation tax by October 31,
1998, while a user fee system is being implemented.
Funding of air navigation services will be entirely
through a user fee system, to be paid by air carriers,
effective November 1, 1998.
The changes reflect changes
announced on August 13, 1997, by the Minister of Finance.

Recovery of Overpayments Made to
Former Members of Parliament Regulations
(SOR/97-568;

The regulations authorize
the Minister to recover overpaid pension benefits where
former Members of the House of Commons and of the Senate
re-enter the federal public sector and earn in excess of
$5,000 annually.
The regulations establish
the time and manner for the recovery of pension
overpayments and an anniversary date scheme to determine
the commencement date of a former Member's federal public
sector employment. The recovery scheme will also apply to
pension benefits which are overpaid for any other reason
to a retired Member, surviving spouse or child.
The regulations also
incorporate a technical definition of "defined benefit
limit" as found in the Income Tax Regulations which is
required to achieve compliance with the Income Tax Act
and Regulations.

Pacific Pilotage Tariff
Regulations, amendment

The changes increase
pilotage tariffs by 2% in all areas, with the exception
of the Sand Heads, Triple Island and Cape Beale launch
charges. Also increased by 2% are travel related tariffs.
Together, the two increases are expected to generate
$660,000 in revenue.
The port to port charge is
increased by $600 per occurrence, generating an estimated
$180,000 in revenue.
The increases would offset
increased costs related to coastal and Fraser River
pilots, travel expenses associated with pilotage
assignments and head office operations and staff.
With the increases, the
pilotage authority anticipates a break-even year in 1998.
The Chamber of Shipping of
