This Appendix sets out certain constitutional statutes. It was prepared from materials supplied by the
Department of Justice, Canada and drawn from the constitutional statutes set out in the Revised
Statutes of Canada, 1985. The English versions are drawn from the official text; the French versions,
except for the Canada Act, 1982 have not been officially adopted. These versions of the
constitutional statutes are reproduced with the permission of the Minister of Supply and Services,
Canada. The Commissioners acknowledge, with gratitude, the assistance given to them by the
officials of the Department of Justice, Canada and the Department of Supply and Services. Without
that assistance the production of this Appendix would have been delayed for many months.
