The Criminal Code of Canada provides that



> 
> **Application to territories**
> 
> 
> 8 (1) The provisions of this Act apply throughout Canada except
> 
> 
> (a) in Yukon, in so far as they are inconsistent with *the Yukon Act*;
> 
> 
> (b) in the Northwest Territories, in so far as they are inconsistent
> with the *Northwest Territories Act*; and
> 
> 
> (c) in Nunavut, in so far as they are inconsistent with the *Nunavut
> Act*.
> 
> 
> 


Why was this provision necessary? Which part of the Criminal Code is inconsistent with the territorial devolution acts?


Or, is this simply a declaratory provision that devolves certain power to the territorial governments?



Which part of the Criminal Code does not apply in the territories?
