Certified Electrician or not???...
(OP)
I have nowhere else to ask this so please clear this up. Is it against the law for anyone other than a certified Electrician (Journyman) to work within an Electrical Maintenance capacity in a Plant? What law? Please give me a reference to an Ontario Act. ,Law or Regulation. I believe it is so but I can't find the source of this law. Thanks.

for:
Trade certification is compulsory in Prince Edward Island and available, but voluntary, in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and the Yukon.
Interprovincial trade certification (Red Seal) is also available to qualified industrial electricians.
However, verify if it is up to date.

I'm on the other side of the world and this argument rages here too. It is compulsory here and watch out if they catch unlicenced work etc etc. I would make a suggestion and bear in mind I don't know the names of departments over there.
There will be an industrial safety regulators type of office in your area. 'phone them up. then try the authority who issues the licences surely they will issue copies of "the rules".
Given that if you are not following the rules one of these bodies will come after you ask them and shift it back to them. I did this 2 weeks ago to clear up a similiar issue here.
All the best

Here is the answer in Ontario, Canada.
Under the OH&S act and enforced by the Ministry of Labour, not the Inspection Department.
OH&S Act & Regulations-1999-page #60.
(Excerpts)
Adoption of Training Requirements
1) The requirements for certification of trades prescribed in the regulations made under the Trades Qualification Act and set out in the schedule are adopted and prescribed in the standard with which every worker in those trades must comply.
3) Every employer who employs a worker in a trade set out in the schedule, other than a apprentice as defined in section 1 of the Trades and Qualifications Act, shall ensure that the worker holds a subsisting certificate of qualification in that trade or equivalent certificate of qualification issued by the province of Quebec.
Schedule:
Electrician, branch 1: construction & maintenance electrician
Electrician, branch 2; domestic and rural electrician

I put the star on jlhmaint's post. It is very pleasing to see a clear statement from a regulatory body. (Obviously some one slipped up).
Now bobby69 I would ask (and its only an ask) do you believe that you don't have to be certified to carry out maintenance work? and by this you mean fix it or install it?
In you last sentence do you mean authorised is aware of hazards?
I ask this question given the meaning of authorised down under is that a suitable authority grants permission eg Gov body, property owner, poice man depending on the context.
So this has raised my curiousity as to context and meaning "up there"
Thanx Don
