Tow Car - Ontario Regulations

Hello all,
What are the regulations for tow cars in Ontario, Canada? I'm asking in terms of the tow setup...hitch, lights, brakes etc...

Any help would be great.

    I'm inquiring about towing a car with an RV. I want to know what the hitch setup needs to be. Do I just need lights on the tow vehicle? Do I need an electric brake control for the towed vehicle?

    Are you inquiring regarding the towing vehicle or a towed vehicle?
