More of the Canada Gazette online - GovInfo

"A Nation's Chronicle: The Canada Gazette" is another major iniatiative from Library & Archives Canada.
The Canada Gazette is the newspaper of our federal government. Through it every Canadian gets to participate in the legislative process, so it's a very important part of our democratic tradition. The digitization of the Gazette, which began in 2007, is ongoing and it's expected that by the beginning of 2009 about 90% of all issues will be available in this searchable database from the Gazette's first issue in1841 until 1998. Approximately 30% of the Canada Gazette is now searchable online. This includes:
Part I - 1983-1997
Part II - 1950-1976, 1983-1997
Part III - 1985-1997

The database is searchable by issue and by keyword. Use Search Help for more information

You can also search the Consolidated Regulations of Canada. There have been five consolidations of regulations published (1874, 1889, 1949, 1955 and 1978). These are not officially part of the Canada Gazette, but have been included in the database for the convenience of researchers.

Legislative Library Holdings via OurOntario

Andrew Hubbertz's Update 2007: Collection and Preservation of Web-Based Provincial/Territorial Government Publications, mentions that the Legislative Library of Ontario is planning to make public digitized versions of their collections. The funding for digitization would come from Knowledge Ontario (KO).

I e-mailed KO as to when that might happen and what the scope of the collection would entail. The response from Loren Fantin, Project Manager, OurOntario.ca ( subset of KO) was:

The government documents will be made available
through the OurOntario site - http://www.ourontario.ca.
The projected time frame is late fall. I'll send an announcement out to
various list-servs and will post the information on the Knowledge
Ontario website as well.

It would be great if the digitized collection remains permanent and covers all legislation, committee reports and other papers from at least 1980 forward. Smaller libraries then will not have to worry about keeping print copies in perpetuity for their customers. Exciting news!
