15 1.No exemptions 2.Mandatory and firm dates 3.Duty to record completion of locate 4.All parties will be involved in enforcement 5.Good balance: all treated equally 6.Requirement to educate and advertise the Service Why it is good legislation?

LESSONS LEARNED The Ontario Underground Infrastructure Notification System Act

17 1.Government Sponsored Bills are much easier 2.Do not underestimate how long its takes to design, consult and negotiate on regulations, and their and effect on your resources Aug 2012 – Oct 2013 almost 100% on Act 3.Have resources available to pay for legal advice to help you get the legalities correct Gov’t has infinite resources Lessons Learned

18 4.Try to avoid being the Regulator 5.Manage expectations from all stakeholders from start 6.Have a good understanding of all parties that will be covered prior to tabling legislation 7.“Be careful what you wish for” when asking govt. for a law Lessons Learned

19 8. Probably impossible to be given a One Call monopoly for your province unless the corporation is an NFP or changes to NFP status – which is not trivial in its effects. Lessons Learned

Questions? ON1Call transition to NFP status20
