		<description>Certainly Ontario&#039;s official policy is that it holds copyright in statutes and regulations, but it does not require express permission.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gov.on.ca/ont/portal/!ut/p/.cmd/cs/.ce/7_0_A/.s/7_0_252/_s.7_0_A/7_0_252/_l/en?docid=004313&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Here&lt;/a&gt;is the official statement of this policy.

In short, it is much like the federal policy, though Ontario insists on express acknowledgement of Crown copyright.  

I am struck by the stress on accuracy of reproduction in both federal and Ontario notices.  Is accuracy of copying an appropriate preoccupation of an owner of copyright?  Is that an element of a moral right, and does the Crown have moral rights as well as the rest of copyright? 

One might have thought that inaccurate reproductions of Crown legal materials would be quickly sanctioned by the market, which would dry up for such materials. But at what point can it really be said that inaccuracy violates the licence to use the copyrighted materials?

All this is of course separate from whether the Crown SHOULD claim copyright. But it&#039;s a little odd to see something like &quot;Ontario Provincial Offences&quot;, the entire book being straight from the Queen&#039;s Printer, except for a copyright notice for the legal publisher who assembled them...  Who&#039;s kidding whom? (Yes, I know there is copyright in typography etc, but seriously!)</description>
