I'm surprised to hear Monsieur Lemieux make that point, because the current administration has used websites as the go-to place in numerous pieces of legislation, including the revamping of CEAA 2012. I really think departmental websites are referenced throughout the Government of Canada right now, so it's not restrictive of new technology.
I also draw his attention to this. If he thinks these are gazetted, they're not. If you go to proposed subsection 5.1(4), it states very clearly that:
For greater certainty, a document that is incorporated by reference in a regulation made under subsection 5(1) is not required to be transmitted for registration or published in the Canada Gazette
So when you say they're gazetted anyway, they're clearly not. I'm just trying to make sure—
