When draft regulations are pre-published in the Canada Gazette, the entire regulations have to pre-published. Realistically, about 70% or perhaps 50% of regulations have a very minor impact and hold very little interest for the people affected by them. This may include amendment regulations that correct an issue caused by a discrepancy between English and French versions. That is not a major amendment and does not require extensive consultation. People accept the fact that the Official Languages Acts requires regulations to be identical in both official languages.
