Notes
Complete relative to the official Legis.xml catalog of consolidated in-force
federal Acts (971 × EN+FR = 1,942) and Regulations (4,867 × EN+FR = 9,734).
Bodies were read from the Justice Canada bulk XML dump (justicecanada/laws-lois-xml),
which is the official bulk distribution of the same files.
2560 instruments have no <Section> split (typically SI/orders); full
text is still stored on the laws table.
Known gaps
- Provincial and territorial legislation is not included.
- Annual statutes as originally enacted, appropriation acts, and point-in-time historical versions are not included (current consolidations only).
- GitHub dump files that are not listed in
Legis.xmlwere not ingested. - This packaging is a research snapshot, not an official consolidation.
