(see footnote 32)

Responsibility for the production, publication and distribution of all three parts of the Canada Gazette lies with the Canada Gazette Directorate, Communications Services Sector, Communication Canada. The statutory requirement to publish lies with the Queen's Printer as appointed by the Minister of Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC). The position is held by the Assistant Executive Director of the Communications Services Sector, Communication Canada. While the Privy Council Office and the Department of Justice are responsible for the content of the Canada Gazette parts II and III, as well as the contents of the proposed regulations in Part I, the Canada Gazette Directorate has overall responsibility for the publication and the distribution of all three parts. This includes the weekly and quarterly indexes, supplements, extracts and extra editions.

Chantal Normand: Administration Officer

All parts of the production of the Canada Gazette Part I are carried out by the Canada Gazette Directorate, including coordinating notices, revising, editing and proof-reading notices in both official languages, comparing English and French versions, and formatting and typesetting to produce the camera-ready copy of the Canada Gazette for printing and distribution. Because only those notices which have a statutory requirement to be published may appear in Part I, the Canada Gazette Directorate examines all incoming notices to determine whether or not they meet the criterion for publication. Of particular importance is the Canada Gazette Directorate's need to meet statutory deadlines for publication. The Canada Gazette Directorate also formats and typesets the Canada Gazette Part II and publishes the "Consolidated Index of Statutory Instruments" to Part II. While the content of theCanada Gazette Part III comes from the Department of Justice, the Canada Gazette Directorate prepares the pagination and ensures that the layout conforms to approved standards.
