VITAL STATISTICS
Susan Boulter, B.A.

Vital statistics are data collected by the registration of vital events, such as births, stillbirths, deaths and marriages, and are increasingly relevant in our information age. This information is also an important tool to monitor population growth, serves as an important source of public health information, and may be used for methodological studies and survey sampling. Such information has also been critical in identifying, understanding and controlling communicable diseases. This title examines the law relating to the collection and registration of vital statistics by federal, provincial and territorial governments.

Topics covered include:

• Births and stillbirths
• Adoptions
• Marriage
• Name changes
• Changes of sex
• Deaths

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
David Stevens, B.A., LL.B. & Nada Khirdaji, B.A. (Hons.), M.A., LL.B.

Weights and measures standards are the foundation of laws regulating the purchase and sale of measured goods and services. To ensure accurate trade measurement, Canadian legislation and regulations require the use of prescribed measurement units and standards, and the certification of measuring devices and meters used in measurement-based financial transactions. This title discusses the legislative framework and Measurement Canada’s administration and enforcement of laws regulating the purchase and sale of measured consumer products, electricity and natural gas in Canada.

Topics covered include:

• Units of measurement
• Measurement devices
• Specific commodities and services
• Electricity and gas standards
• Certification and inspections
• Violations and penalties

WILDLIFE, LIVESTOCK AND PETS
Gavin Hole, B.Eng, J.D. & Peter Sankoff, B.A., J.D., LL.M.

While the ownership and protection of animals are affected by laws of general application, such as the law of property and the criminal law, legislation has also been enacted at all levels of government targeting the regulation of animals in their many different capacities. This title discusses both the diverse legislative framework and the common law principles that affect the treatment of wild and domestic animals in Canada, such as biodiversity protection, prevention of cruelty and the health of animals, pedigree, ownership and identification, and torts involving animals.

Topics covered include:

• Protection of biodiversity
• Protection from cruelty against animals
• Health measures
• Pedigree
• Torts involving animals
