Answers
What is a jurisdiction? - answer;-Each province and territory is its own jurisdiction
Explain the intent of the regulation's governing the operation of boilers and pressure
equipment? - answer;-To give the director or administrator of the department or branch
or government a means of evolving, within the framework of the intent of the act, to
meet changes in technology, concept, and the use of those variables listed within the
scope of the act.
Is it more difficult to change an act or a regulation? - answer;-The main or primary
document is an "act" which must be passed through the jurisdictional legislature. The
act then has "regulations" which are pursuant to the enforcement of the act. These
regulations are usually under the governance of an official of the government rather
than the actual legislature. As a result, it is much easier to have changes made to a
regulation than it is to have changes made to an act.
