PIPEDA, s. 10.1 (Justice Laws P-8.6)
Read this example
Canadian federal Acts sit in the Justice Laws consolidation under a letter-number code — P-8.6 is the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act — and sections are cited bare, s. 10.1 here for the duty to report a breach of security safeguards to the Privacy Commissioner. Registered regulations keep their registration number instead: the Breach of Security Safeguards Regulations are SOR/2018-64. The gateway resolves the two separately, and the provinces number their statutes their own way on Ontario e-Laws and BC Laws.
