How to Locate Canadian Legislation in Canada

In Hardcopy

Legislation includes statutes passed by federal or provincial lawmakers. For federal legislation, search the English Index to the Revised Statutes of Canada (1985). For Ontario legislation, search the Index to the Revised Statutes of Ontario (1990). To ensure the legislation has not been amended or repealed, use the Canada Statute Citator in print for federal legislation and the Ontario Statute Citator for Ontario legislation checking under the title and applicable section numbers of your statute. Most statutes also provide for regulations to be enacted by the appropriate Ministry, or by other government officials.
