Is your ebike legal to ride on Ontario roads? Got the necessary legal certificate?

[crash test]

I happened to read the Ontario government information: "a permanent label from the manufacturer in both English and French stating that your e-bike conforms to the federal definition of a power-assisted bicycle"
Electric bicycles
E-bikes are motorized bicycles that can look like conventional bicycles, scooters or limited-speed motorcycles. This information will help you learn the rules about e-bikes so you can ride safely.
What is an e-bike

E-bikes in Ontario must have:

• steering handlebars
• working pedals
• an electric motor not exceeding 500 Watts
• a maximum speed of 32 km/h
• a maximum weight of 120 kg
• a permanent label from the manufacturer in both English and French stating that your e-bike conforms to the federal definition of a power-assisted bicycle

Unless you live in a big city like Toronto, cops pretty much ignore most bikes...ebike or acoustic

Ok now you got my curiosity going, where can I find all of this info so I can familiarize myself with it.
I like to know when someone fresh out of school that did not pay much attention to the subject is trying to feed me some bs on the subject in question or serve me a ticket.

I was a bit shocked to find it out. My purchase plans are on hold.

Then I thought "Who is a manufacturer? The numerous and various component-making factories? The assembly factory? Could it be a kit installer? Someone like meeeeeee?"

Its senseless. They don't mean the steel mills or aluminum producers. So, whom?
