Certain official notices, such as charity revocations, are published in the Canada Gazette. These notices are officially published on a Saturday. I think it has been this way for a long time.
Recent changes to the Income Tax Act from the Federal Budget 2024 will mean that certain notices, such as these notices of revocation, will not even need to be published in the Canada Gazette and will just need to be published on the website of the Charities Directorate.
What I did not know was that “Part I contains public notices, official appointments and proposed regulations from the Government of Canada. The official publication date is Saturday and the publication is available online every Friday at 2 pm Eastern time, with some exceptions during statutory holidays.” My emphasis.
So, if someone has received a notice of intention to revoke and is wondering when the Canada Gazette will publish that information, it appears that it will actually be available on Friday at 2PM of each week, even though the official publication date will be on Saturday.
Here is information on the publication of the Canada Gazette:
Parts of the Canada Gazette
The Canada Gazette consists of 3 parts: parts I, II and III. Each part contains specific types of notices. We are an online publication only.
Part I
Part I contains public notices, official appointments and proposed regulations from the Government of Canada. The official publication date is Saturday and the publication is available online every Friday at 2 pm Eastern time, with some exceptions during statutory holidays.
Quarterly index
The Canada Gazette publishes a quarterly index, a directory of all notices published in Part I over 3‑month period.
Part II
Part II contains all regulations that became official. It also contains documents such as orders in council, orders and proclamations. Only federal departments and agencies publish in Part II. Regular editions are published every second Wednesday at 9 am Eastern time.
Consolidated index
A quarterly consolidated index is a directory of all the regulations, statutory instruments and other documents published in Part II since 1955 that are still in force today.
Part III
Part III contains public Acts of Parliament. It also contains a list of the proclamations of Canada and orders in council relating to the acts.
Part III is published after the acts receive royal assent by the Governor General. The Department of Justice decides when Part III is published.
Extra editions
Part I and Part II extra editions can be published under required circumstances or when a law demands a document to be published without delay.
