Sources and Verification

Every deadline we publish is traced to a source you can read yourself: a statute, a regulation or the board or tribunal that sets the timeline. This is the register of them.

A deadline page is worth having only if the dates on it are right. That means telling you where each one came from, when we last checked it and what we have not been able to confirm. All three are on this page.

Every province and territory is on the register, in alphabetical order. Our shorter question and answer pages on reporting a crash and making a claim draw on the same sources, and they are listed under their own province below.

What does the standard actually require?

We read the clause, not a summary of the clause. Every figure on a deadline page is traced to a numbered provision in a statute or a regulation, read in the official version published by the legislature or the King's Printer for that jurisdiction. Where a board or a tribunal publishes its own criteria, we read those at the board's own site.

We check which Act is in force before we check a figure in it. Provinces repeal and renumber. A section number taken from guidance written five years ago can point at nothing. Commencement matters too. A section that received Royal Assent in one year may not take effect until another, and it may apply only to accidents on or after that date.

For every deadline we verify three separate things. How long it is, what starts the clock and what it is a deadline to do. Getting the number right and the starting point wrong is the same as getting it wrong.

Where we cannot read the clause, we remove what we cannot support. We do not replace it with something we have not read, and we say so on the page.

What does "last verified" mean on our pages?

It means a person opened the legislation on that date and read the sections cited. It does not mean the page was skimmed or that the figures were carried forward from an earlier draft. Where a page has been re-read and nothing changed, the date still moves, because the check is what the date records.

Each deadline page also carries a "Checked against" line naming the specific instruments behind it. This page collects those in one place.

What do we do about law that is not yet in force?

We publish law in force, and law already passed with a confirmed start date. No bills, no sections waiting on a proclamation nobody has dated, and no proposals from a discussion paper or a review, even with a caveat attached. Naming the bill that enacted a change already passed is different. That is provenance, not pending law.

Where passed law has a fixed start date that could decide your claim, we tell you. We name the date and say plainly which rules apply before it and which apply after. Alberta's move to its Care-First system on 1 January 2027 is the example on our pages today. The date of a collision decides which system handles it, so leaving the change out would mislead more than including it.

The reason is practical. Somebody reading a deadline page has a decision to make this week. A rule that might arrive next year cannot help them and can easily mislead them. A rule that will arrive on a known date can change which system they are in, so they need to know it. We also strip material that has expired, such as a filing window that opened and closed on Royal Assent.

The Territories sources

Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut share one road accident deadline page. On the workplace side the WSCC is a single commission serving both the Northwest Territories and Nunavut, so that lane carries two tables rather than three.

Why one table covers two territories. The Northwest Territories and Nunavut each have their own deadline page, because what differs between them is the experience rather than the board. Where the tribunal sits relative to you, which language you can deal with it in, and what a trip out for treatment costs are all different. The board and tribunal material underneath is the same material, so it is listed once here instead of twice. The Nunavut-only instruments in that table are the ones that do not apply in the Northwest Territories.

COMPLETE

All ten provinces and the three territories are now on this register, each with its sources in the section above and its open items in the gaps below. Last updated September 2026. Start from the guides by province and territory.

The sources for the figures in our guides

The register above covers our deadline pages. The money figures inside the guides are held to the same standard and traced to the body that sets them. These are the sources behind the reference tables in the National Commercial Truckers Guide, read in August 2026.

Employment Insurance maximum insurable earnings for 2026 The maximum weekly benefit rate for claims beginning on or after 28 December 2025 Employment and Social Development Canada

What did that verification change?

Reading a source properly means being willing to find something wrong in your own work. Seven figures changed in August 2026, and they are recorded here rather than corrected quietly.

British Columbia carried a weekly maximum that stopped being law in 2021. The figure predated Enhanced Care, which replaced the old limit when it came into force on 1 May 2021. It now shows the income ceiling ICBC publishes today. An attendant care figure alongside it could not be confirmed, so it was removed rather than kept.

Nova Scotia was wrong in both columns of the claim deadline table. The employer reporting window read two business days where section 86 sets five, and the worker filing limit was given as twelve months when the outer bar is five years with the Board's discretion in between.

Manitoba and Quebec were missing their income ceilings. Both were shown as ninety per cent of net with no ceiling, which reads as unlimited. Both now carry the gross income cap that applies.

A Saskatchewan weekly figure was removed. We could not find it in SGI's own 2026 guides, so it is out. What replaced it is the deductible that applies when a driver holding Tort coverage sues.

Four employer reporting windows had the wrong unit. Ontario, New Brunswick, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut now match the wording in their own Act, because business days and days are not the same thing when the window is three of them.

What have we not verified?

Publishing the gaps is part of the standard. These are the open items on the jurisdictions listed above, as at September 2026.

One general point applies to more than one jurisdiction. Appeal windows and review periods are often set by a board or a tribunal in its own published material rather than by a numbered clause in an Act. Where that is the case we have read the board's own page, which is the body that applies the rule, but it is not the same as reading the statute and we do not want it counted as though it were.

A second general point covers our shorter question and answer pages. They name the authority behind each figure in their text, but most of them do not yet link to the page the figure came from. The sources they name are listed under their province above.

One further gap sits on the guides rather than the deadline pages. Four reference tables in the National Commercial Truckers Guide are administrative rather than financial, covering driver's abstract fees, carrier safety ratings, collision reporting and medical fitness requirements. Those have not been re-read at source in this pass, and a fee in particular can move without notice. Confirm a fee with the issuing authority before you pay it.

Alberta

Few provisions are named on the road accident lane. The Automobile Accident Insurance Benefits Regulation, the Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols Regulation, the Limitations Act and the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Act are all named on our Alberta deadline pages without the sections relied on. Section 3 of the Limitations Act is now cited in our article on Alberta's minor injury cap, but the deadline pages themselves have not caught up. Until they do, a reader cannot trace every figure to a clause, which is the thing this register exists to make possible.

The Workers' Compensation Act citation is incomplete. Section 13.2(8) is the only provision named anywhere on our Alberta workplace page, and the Act itself is named without a chapter citation.

Most of the workplace lane rests on board material. The appeal timelines come from WCB-Alberta's own pages, its Worker Handbook and the Appeals Commission's pages rather than from clauses we have read in the Act.

No official links. None of the four Alberta statutes and regulations is linked to its official text, here or on the deadline page.

British Columbia

The workplace lane cites no legislation at all. Every source behind our WorkSafeBC page is published material from WorkSafeBC, the Workers' Compensation Appeal Tribunal or the Workers' Advisers Office. Those are the bodies that apply the rules, so they are not second-hand, but they are not the Act and we have not read the Act.

One filing allowance is expressly unconfirmed. Our page states that a published allowance applies to two deadlines and then says, in its own words, "We have not confirmed that it applies to the forty five day health and safety deadline, so treat that one as forty five days flat and file early."

Class action dates are deliberately absent. Our road accident page says "We are not going to give you dates for it, because court-set deadlines in a class action move and we have not confirmed the current ones at source." That remains our position rather than an oversight.

The Civil Resolution Tribunal Act and the Limitation Act are unlinked. Section 56.6 of the first is named without a link to the official text, and the second is named without a section or a link. The Enhanced Accident Benefits Regulation above is the one entry across Alberta, British Columbia and Manitoba that carries both its sections and an official link.

Manitoba

Our road accident page relies on provisions its own source list does not name. That page cites section 151(1) of the Manitoba Public Insurance Corporation Act, and section 148 of that Act together with section 43 of Regulation 40/94. None of the three appears in the page's "Checked against" box, so a reader following our own trail would not reach them. That is a fault in our page rather than in the law, and it is on the list to fix.

The Workers Compensation Act citation is incomplete. Section 109.7(1.3) is named without a chapter citation, and Policy 20.10 Reconsiderations is named without a link.

The absence of a general appeal deadline was confirmed with the bodies rather than from a clause. Our page says it "was confirmed against the Appeal Commission and the Worker Advisor Office directly rather than taken from a summary." We record that as sound method and an incomplete citation at the same time.

No deadline is published for the PIPP application itself. Our page says "MPI does not publish a fixed deadline for making the PIPP application itself and advises reporting as soon as possible, so we give no number for it here."

New Brunswick

The road accident lane carries no links and few sections. The New Brunswick Standard Automobile Owner's Policy, N.B.P.F. No. 1 is a policy form rather than a provision of an Act, and we have not read it at source. Only the Limitation of Actions Act at section 5 and the Proceedings Against the Crown Act at section 15 carry a section, and neither is linked to its official text.

The Local Governance Act is reached second-hand. Our page names the Province's own reference guide to the Act rather than the Act itself, so a reader cannot yet trace the figure to a clause.

The workplace lane rests entirely on board material. Every source behind our WorkSafeNB page is published material from WorkSafeNB or the New Brunswick Workers' Compensation Appeals Tribunal. No section of a statute is named, and the occupational health and safety appeals process entry carries no link.

Nova Scotia

The road accident lane names eight instruments at the Act level. Only the Automobile Insurance Contract Mandatory Conditions Regulations carry a pinpoint, to Schedule 1 and Schedule 2. The Diagnostic and Treatment Protocols Regulations, the Uninsured and Unidentified Automobile Coverage regulations, the Insurance Act, the Limitation of Actions Act, the Proceedings against the Crown Act, the Municipal Government Act and the Motor Vehicle Act reporting threshold are each named without a section.

No official links on the road lane. None of the eight road instruments is linked to its official text.

The workplace lane names no section in its source box. The consolidated Workers' Compensation Act is dated to 1 January 2026, but the section numbers appear in the page's own text rather than in its Checked against box, so a reader following the box would not reach them. The rest of the lane is WCB Nova Scotia and Workers' Compensation Appeals Tribunal material, together with the 2025 amending Act.

The amending Act was read as a bill. Our Nova Scotia workplace page was checked against Bill 144 as it was introduced. The bill received Royal Assent on 3 October 2025 as Chapter 21 of the Acts of 2025, and most of it came into force on 1 January 2026. We have not yet compared the enacted text with the introduced text line by line, so that page still names the bill as introduced until we have.

Prince Edward Island

The road accident lane rests on a policy form and two Acts, none linked. The PE S.P.F. No. 1 standard automobile policy is a form rather than a provision of an Act, and we have not read it at source. The Uninsured and Unidentified Automobile Coverage Regulations at Cap. I-4 and the Statute of Limitations at c. S-7 carry chapter citations but no section, and neither is linked.

No single limitation figure is given. Our page declines to state one number for the limitation period, and we have kept that position rather than supply a figure that could be wrong for a given claim.

The workplace lane rests on board and government web pages. The sources behind our WCB PEI page are the board's Appeals, File Your Claim and Claim Process pages and the Office of the Worker Advisor. The Workers Compensation Act at Cap. W-7.1 is named as the governing law without a section or a link.

Newfoundland and Labrador

The Section B policy wording. Section 2(1)(a) of the Automobile Insurance Act defines accident benefits by reference to the S.P.F. No. 1 Standard Automobile Policy, which is a form approved by the Superintendent of Insurance rather than a provision of the Act. The 30 day notice and the 90 day proof of claim live in that form. We have not read it at source, so treat those two figures as a prompt to read the Section B wording in your own policy.

The Facility Association route. Sections 45.10 to 45.22 of the Automobile Insurance Act deal with claims where the driver cannot be identified. We have not read those sections in full and any time limits inside them are not on our pages.

The Highway Traffic Act reporting duty. We have not checked whether Newfoundland and Labrador imposes a duty to report a collision to police within a set time. If it does, it is not yet on our pages.

Consolidation currency. Each official statute page carries a "How current is this statute?" link that requires JavaScript. We could not confirm the consolidation date for the instruments above.

Ontario

The Workplace Safety and Insurance Act text. The section numbers on our WSIB page were read in the Board's own reproduction of the Act inside its Operational Policy Manual, rather than in the official version published by the Government of Ontario. Our standard asks for the official version, so this one falls short of it. The Board reproduces the Act it administers and we have no reason to doubt the text, but we have not checked it against the official consolidation and we would rather say so than let it pass.

Official links for the Ontario instruments. The Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule, the Licence Appeal Tribunal Act, 1999, the Insurance Act, the Limitations Act, 2002, the Highway Traffic Act, the Municipal Act, 2001 and the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997 are named above without links to the official versions. The links are still to be added to this register.

The Limitations Act, 2002 on the full road accident page. Our shorter Ontario claim page now names section 4 for the basic two year limitation period. The full road accident page relies on the same period without naming the section yet. The figure is right and that citation is incomplete.

Quebec

The road accident lane names its two instruments without a section. The Automobile Insurance Act is named at consolidation level, to 1 April 2026, and the Regulation respecting the processing of a claim for compensation or application for review is named without a section or a link. Only the SAAQ page on contesting a decision carries a link.

The workplace deadline pages rest on CNESST policy and one statute. CNESST policies 1.01, 6.02 and 6.01 are named without links, and the deadline pages, in English and in French, name the Loi sur les accidents du travail et les maladies professionnelles without a section. Our French admissibility page is better placed: it links the Act and cites articles 28, 60, 265 and 280.

The CNESST payment figures are named but unlinked. Our shorter page on what CNESST pays gives the 2026 maximum and minimum insurable earnings and the indexation rate, and names CNESST as their source without linking the page each figure came from.

Saskatchewan

The road accident lane is pinpointed but unlinked. The Automobile Accident Insurance Act is named at sections 188 to 196 together with Part X of its regulations, which is a clause-level citation, but it is not linked to its official text. The remaining road sources are SGI and Automobile Injury Appeal Commission material, two of which carry no link.

The workplace lane is well pinpointed but unlinked. The Workers' Compensation Act, 2013 is cited to a long list of sections read at source on the Saskatchewan publications service, but the Act itself is not linked here. The rest of the lane is WCB Saskatchewan and Government of Saskatchewan web material, one entry of which carries no link.

The Territories

The road accident lane is linked but not pinned to sections. The Yukon and Northwest Territories Limitation of Actions Acts, the Yukon Insurance Act Schedule of Benefits and the Northwest Territories and Nunavut Insurance Acts are each linked to an official PDF but named without the sections relied on. Nunavut runs on the Northwest Territories Limitation of Actions Act as duplicated, and the Yukon third party liability minimum was cross-checked against the Insurance Bureau of Canada rather than a statute.

The workplace lanes rest on board and tribunal material. The Yukon lane is Yukon Workers' Safety and Compensation Board and Appeal Tribunal pages plus the Workers' Safety and Compensation Act, SY 2021, c 11, named without a section. The Northwest Territories and Nunavut lane is WSCC pages and the Appeals Tribunal's guidance, with the Workers' Compensation Act of each territory named without a chapter citation or a link.

Two Nunavut items are expressly unconfirmed. What WSCC owes a worker in Inuktut is not settled on our Nunavut page, which tells readers to ask WSCC and the Appeals Tribunal separately and keep the answers in writing. We also give no figure for the deadline to file a Nunavut claim in the first place, because we have not confirmed it at source.

What happens if you find an error?

Write to Recovery@hurtsquare.ca and we will correct it publicly. You do not need to be a lawyer, and you do not need to be sure. Point at the line and we will read the clause again.

We have corrected our own pages this way more than once. A deadline page that has never been corrected is not the same thing as a deadline page that has never been wrong.
