The CEPA time clock is 24 months to publish the proposed regulation and to then finalize that regulation within 18 months after that. When you propose a regulation, you are publishing it in the Canada Gazette. There is a period of consultation, and then typically there is a “what we heard” report. Amendments may be made before the final regulation is published.

That's the typical period.
