Description
From the website:
This website contains materials relevant to understanding Canadian bijuralism and tracks the efforts of the Federal Government of Canada to harmonize law across the civil and common law systems and through French and English.
"As a legacy of the colonisation of North America by France and Great Britain, two legal traditions co-exist in Canada – civil law in Quebec and common law in all other provinces and territories. The Department of Justice is committed to respecting both legal systems, in both official languages, to ensure federal legislation is adequately applied everywhere in Canada."
