I thought the book was Canada Wide and only the provincial ammended books were slow to come out.
Each province creates its own Code that includes the CEC plus ammendments/bulletins. Essentially, the CEC isn't adopted until the ammendments are done.
I guess I'm lucky... I got my whole apprenticeship plus contractors license done on the 2002 Code
I wouldn't consider 12 outlets to be good practice, even if it is the Code minimum.
