The problem with the first news release was that it pointed out that Bill C‑208 did not provide for an implementation date. It stated so in the beginning, in the first paragraph. It ended by stating that the government intended to include new legislation to clarify that those amendments would apply at the beginning of the next fiscal year.
That's what was more surprising or potentially confusing, because it gave the impression that the absence of a date in the legislation indicated a failure or an area that needed clarification, when this was not the case. The Interpretation Act makes it very clear that a bill comes into force when it receives royal assent. This could have suggested that the entire bill would not come into force until later, retroactively.
The updated news release replaces the first one and indicates that the legislation is in force and that the legislative amendments being considered by the government will address specific issues, not the coming into force date.
