Canadian statutes

Canadian statutes are laws enacted by Parliament or provincial legislatures that set legal rules and regulations for the country or regions within it. They establish rights, responsibilities, and procedures on a wide range of issues, such as criminal conduct, property rights, and public policies. Statutes are written laws that provide a structured legal framework, ensuring clarity and consistency in how laws are applied and enforced. They are publicly accessible and serve as the foundation of Canada's legal system, guiding the conduct of individuals, organizations, and government entities.
