6.11 Amending or correcting a Minute

An amendment or correction can be used to correct only minor errors.

The amendment or correction of a Minute previously approved by the Governor in Council is permissible in circumstances where the recommendation or schedule to the original Minute has contained an error of a minor nature. An error of a minor nature may include an incorrect date, name reference or a typographical error. The amendment to the original Minute may be corrected in the recommendation or schedule to the new Minute.

In circumstances where a Minute contains an error(s) not of a minor nature, it may be more appropriate for the original Minute to be rescinded or revoked and replaced with a new Minute.
