Current BC legislation now available online for free
In the past, current BC laws and regulations were not available online unless you were able to pay for them. As the result of a partnership between the Ministry of Attorney General, the Queen’s Printer, the Law Society of British Columbia, and the Law Foundation of British Columbia, this is no longer the case.
Starting January 1, 2009, current provincial legislation and regulations are available to everyone on a new website managed by the Queen’s Printer. This means that community workers and the general public can now get free, accessible up-to-date legal information 24 hours a day.
Legislation will also be available through the CanLII website starting in March 2009. When combined with the CanLII search engine, this will provide an important new legal information research tool.
This new service is an significant step towards access to justice for all. . |
