These provisions of the Act are being commenced for the particular purpose or purposes specified in the corresponding entry in column 2 of each of the two Schedules to the Order. Where no particular purpose is specified, a provision is being commenced for all purposes. The purposes relate to the making of regulations, orders, Orders in Council, rules of court and the issuing of guidance under provisions of the Act and under provisions in existing legislation amended by the Act.
