A small wording change removes the phrase 'the making of' from the provision that allows source protection plans to be amended without full approval processes when accounting for Ontario Regulation 137/25. In practice, the amendment now simply references 'Ontario Regulation 137/25' directly, without the earlier introductory phrasing. The legislative note about a future change to this wording on a specific date has also been removed, as that future date has effectively been addressed by this amendment. The citation list at the end of the relevant subsection has been updated to reflect this amending regulation. Source protection authorities and plan administrators should be aware that the simplified reference does not change what activities qualify for the streamlined amendment pathway.
