I guess you didn't take any poli sci classes in college, or a basic Civics/Government course in high school? You may not know this, but in Canada, you have a Parliament. They are the branch that you know, passes / modifies laws. It's made up of a Senate and a House of Commons. Much like in Britain, the House of Commons is the important part of the legislative branch. This body passes hundreds of laws a year, modifying some, creating new ones, with each bill usually being hundreds, sometimes thousands of pages long. This means that yes, at any given time thousands of laws are being modified. Also, this is just at the national level, you also have your provincial governments and local governments passing and modifying laws.

You are incorrect.

Laws are created by statutes that originate from legislative bills originally introduced by either the Senate or the Assembly. For example, in 1953 the Physical Therapy Practice Act (Act) was created by Chapter 1823 because of AB 1001. The Physical Therapy Practice Act begins with §2600 in the Business and Professions Code (B&P Code) and governs the practice of physical therapy. The Act, statutes, laws and B&P Code could be considered synonymous.

Regulations are standards (see the Rulemaking Process below) adopted as rules by the Physical Therapy Board of California to implement, interpret, or make specific the law enforced or administered by the Physical Therapy Practice Act. Regulations must be approved by the Office of Administrative Law, and filed with the Secretary of State.
