Mr. Chairman, the act has been approved so it has been assented to by the Commissioner. What is contained in the act is a section that says the date when it will come into force to replace the federal Land Titles Act is to be fixed by the Commissioner. There is no particular date. It has taken us up until now to get agreement with the federal and Yukon governments. The act has been assented to. It is law. It just has not been put into effect.

Mr. Chairman, perhaps we can ask our Law Clerk about that. The bill has been assented to, but that does not necessarily make it law unless he puts the dates down when it becomes enforceable. You already said that is going to be put in force in January, five years later. It is not enforceable as of yet. I am wondering whether or not that allows for some implications because of the time lapse of five years.

Thank you. I will ask our legal advisor to comment on that particular matter.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Gargan is right. The law is not enforceable at this time because it has not been declared into force. It is, however, still a law that exists and has received the approval of this House. From my recollection of the Land Titles Act, when we did it in 1988, it did not have a sunset clause which would give it a limited life span. Until such time as this House repeals that act, it is still the law of this House even though it is not enforceable at this point in time as it has not been proclaimed in force.
