Canadian Federal Acts and Regulations

Canada · güncelleme: weekly · ca-national-legislation

Canada’s consolidated federal Acts and Regulations, collected from the Department of Justice’s own Justice Laws Website XML — no API key, no login. One record is one provision: a section, a schedule or an instrument’s preamble, sliced byte-verbatim out of the instrument it belongs to and carried with the chapter, enabling Act, heading path and amendment dates a legal-research query filters on. Every chunk carries that whole set and not just the record it was cut from, so even a one-sentence provision arrives with its Act title, chapter, own number, status and heading path attached. The corpus is English; every record links the equally authoritative French text rather than duplicating it. Reproduction rests on the Reproduction of Federal Law Order (SI/97-5) and the Department’s own Legal Materials grant, whose conditions — including the statement that this is not an official version — are discharged in every record. Every record carries its source URL, fetch timestamp, HTTP status and the SHA-256 of both the raw response and the extracted record. Every release ships a manifest with every file’s SHA-256 and a Merkle root over every chunk hash, which the buyer can recompute from the downloaded files. record_id and chunk_id are stable across releases. Personal data is screened out inside the pipeline before any hash is computed.
