Section 66.91 — Copyright Act: Regulations

The Governor in Council may make regulations issuing policy directions to the Board and establishing general criteria to be applied by the Board or to which the Board must have regard in establishing fair and equitable royalties to be paid pursuant to this Act;

and in rendering its decisions in any matter within its jurisdiction. The Governor in Council may make regulations establishing the day by which, or the period within which, a matter before the Board — and any procedural step in the matter, whether set out in a provision of this Act or not — must be completed; establishing the minimum length of the effective period for the purposes of subsections 68.1 (2) and 83(4); establishing a day for the purposes of paragraph 73.4 (b); and authorizing the Board or a case manager to give a direction or make an order that adapts, restricts or excludes the application of any provision of regulations made under any of paragraphs (a) to (c) to a matter or any step in a matter. Regulations made under subsection (2) prevail over regulations made under subsection 66.6(1) or (1.1) to the extent of an inconsistency or conflict between them.
