"The 2012 federal budget states: "The government expects that businesses will apply rounding for cash transactions in a fair and transparent manner."
The rounding will not be done on single items but on the total bill of sale. If the price ends in a one, two, six, or seven it gets rounded down to 0 or 5; and rounded up if it ends in three, four, eight or nine.
Businesses will not need to adjust their cash registers." Source

I like the 'expects' part . . .
