Canadian government documents
Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

Cite Canadian government documents similarly to U.S. public documents. Begin citations with the word Canada unless it is obvious from the context. Generally abbreviate chapter and section as c. and s., but if you cite only a few Canadian documents, use chap. and sec.

Canadian government documents are issued by both houses of the federal Parliament (the Senate and the House of Commons), by the provincial and territorial legislatures, and by various executive departments.

Parliamentary debates are published in separate series, House of Commons Debates and Senate Debates. Include the name of the person speaking, where relevant. Provincial and territorial legislatures publish their own debates.

Cite parliamentary bills by bill number, title, year of passage where relevant, session number, Parliament number, and additional information as needed.

Canadian statutes are first published in the annual Statutes of Canada and were most recently consolidated in 1985 in the Revised Statutes of Canada. Wherever possible, use the latter source and identify the statute by title, reporter, year of compilation, chapter, and section.
