SUMMARY

This enactment repeals the pre-Confederation provisions of the 1866 Civil Code of Lower Canada that fall within federal jurisdiction and replaces certain provisions with appropriate provisions on marriage applicable only in the Province of Quebec.

This enactment also amends the Interpretation Act by adding rules of construction that recognize the Canadian bijural tradition and that clarify the application of provincial law to federal law on a suppletive basis, as well as bijural provisions in federal statutes.

This enactment harmonizes Acts of Parliament, including the Federal Real Property Act, the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, the Crown Liability and Proceedings Act and other statutes of a lower degree of complexity which relate to security and property law, with the civil law of the Province of Quebec.
