The Ontario government has proclaimed subsections 1(2), 2(2), 3(2) and 5(1) of Schedule 21 of the Helping Ontario Families and Managing Responsibly Act, 2010, which amends the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, 1997, into force on January 1, 2013.

O. Reg. 141/12, filed on June 5, 2012 and which also comes into force on January 1, 2013, sets out the information to be included in that plan and requires that the plan be submitted to the Minister by June 30, 2013.
