How do I find current legislation (also known as statutes, laws, acts, and bills) from Canada (federal) or from a province or territory?
Answer
The quickest and most reliable, authoritative source for current Canadian legislation is the CANLii website, a free online source provided by the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. The website provides a link for Canada federal laws, and a link for each Canadian province and territory. Legislation is arranged alphabetically by title of statute. If you do not know the name a particular statute, only its subject, use a secondary source. You can also visit the Law Library, which holds print copies of all Canadian federal, provincial and territorial legislation.
