Abstract

The present Regulations implement the Canada Oil and Gas Operations Act. In particular, the Regulations lay down provisions relating to the issuance of certificates of fitness for offshore oil and gas production, drilling, accommodation and diving installations. Section 3 establishes that these Regulations apply in respect of those submarine areas not within a province, adjacent to the coast of Canada and extending throughout the natural prolongation of the land territory of Canada to the outer edge of the continental margin or to a distance of two hundred nautical miles from the baselines from which the breadth of the territorial sea of Canada is measured, whichever is the greater. The text – consisting of 10 sections – deals with the following matters: issuance of certificates of fitness, conflict of interest, approval of scope of work, expiration date, area of validity, invalidity, change of certifying authority. One Schedule is enclosed laying down certification standards.
