except as otherwise indicated

Most, if not all, of the public statutes are listed below, whether or not proclaimed in force. A very few local statutes are included. The listed statutes are consolidated to the date indicated above (except as otherwise indicated below) unless spent, inoperative or unproclaimed. Amending statutes are not separately listed unless in force and not yet consolidated with the statutes they amend. Repealed statutes are not listed. Links are included to all unproclaimed new public statutes from the 1995-96 and subsequent sessions (unless repealed, spent or inoperative).

For all statutes (including amending statutes) from the 1995-96 and subsequent sessions (public statutes, private and local statutes), refer to Statutes by session or sitting. They are not consolidated.

The Interpretation Act applies to all statutes.
