Canadian federal Acts and regulations from the Department of Justice Canada’s Consolidated Acts and Regulations, in English or French: search by title, then read an Act or regulation, its stated status and citation, and its consolidated text, whole or one section at a time. Federal law only; provincial and territorial law is a different publisher.

Tools

• ca_law_search(query, lang?, type?, page?) — find titles by words in the name. lang is en (default) or fr. type is act (default), regulation or all (all reads more title lists and is slower). Returns id, title, type, citation and a link; 25 per page, next_page says whether to continue. French titles are listed inverted (“Protection des renseignements personnels, Loi sur la”).
• ca_law_get(id, lang?, section?, max_chars?) — one Act or regulation: title, citation, assent or registration date, the in-force status as the source states it, last-amended date, the date the consolidation is current to, and the text. section returns one section; otherwise the text is capped at max_chars with a section list. Schedules are not addressable by section. The source flags Acts as in force; it states no flag for regulations, so their status is null with a note (nothing is derived).

Keyless.

Data sources

• Canada, Department of Justice, Consolidated Acts and Regulations (federal) — the consolidated text of federal Acts and regulations, in both official languages.

Consolidations are unofficial; the Statutes of Canada and the Canada Gazette are the official texts. data_as_of is the date the consolidation is current to when the call returns a text, otherwise the date of the live read. Read live on each call; nothing is copied. A search or lookup that finds nothing returns empty_reason, not an empty success.

Tools

• ca_law_search — Search Canadian federal Acts and regulations by words in the title, in English (lang “en”, default) or French (“fr”), e.g. “privacy” or “criminal code”. type is “act” (default), “regulation” or “all”
• ca_law_get — Fetch one Canadian federal Act or regulation by id from ca_law_search (e.g. “P-8.6” for the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, or “SOR-2007-151”), in English or French. Retu
