General Comments

  1. Most current Canadian legislation (federal, provincial and territorial) is searchable through a common interface, for free, on the CanLII website.
    http://www.canlii.org/
  2. Canadian Legislative Pulse
    This service from CCH tracks current bills in all Canadian legislatures.
    For now, you can sign on with your CCH Online password. Our subscription has been cancelled, however, and will soon expire.
    Note: CCH Online provides current consolidations and subject access to many federal and provincial statutes and regulations, as do the corresponding looseleaf volumes.
  3. Mary K. McLean, Index to Federal and Ontario Statutes
    (Scarborough, Ont. : Carswell, 1993-2000)
    STATS-CAN A375 D275
    This service ceased in 2000 as a print product, and continued to be available online from
    Captus Press until 2007, when it ceased.
  4. Subject access to much Canadian legislation is also provided by the Canadian Encyclopedic Digest,
    available in the WestlaweCarswell CED database.
  5. Canadian Legislative Concordances, the Westlaw CANCONCORD database, links provincial legislation dealing with the same subtopics for family law, personal property security law, civil procedure, and securities law.
  6. Canadian Statute Citations
    (Toronto: Carswell, 1995-) 23 volumes, with irregularly issued cumulative supplements, and monthly updates
    DIG B35 (ALPHANUM)
    This content is behind the KeyCite facility for statutes on WestlaweCarswell.
  7. The legislation of Canada, Quebec, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Northwest Territories, Yukon and Nunavut is constitutionally required to be enacted in both English and French. Ontario also publishes its laws in both English and French.
  8. Canadian provinces are autonomous within their constitutional spheres. The powers of Parliament are set out in section 91 [via WestlaweCarswell] of the Constitution Act, 1867 (below); the powers of the provincial legislatures are set out in section 92 [via LexisNexis]. The territories (Northwest Territories, Yukon, and Nunavut) are creatures of the Canadian Parliament.
  9. Attempts to harmonize Canadian provincial and territorial legislation are made under the auspices of the Uniform Law Conference of Canada.

  10. Citations of statutes are to the chapters of annual statute volumes, and to the chapters of revised statute volumes.
