Canada Criminal Law is

  1. Municipal

  2. Provincial

  3. Federal

  4. None of the above

The correct answer is: Federal

Canada's Criminal Law is indeed federal, meaning it's governed at a national level, rather than by individual provinces or municipalities. The criminal law is standardized across the country; all regulations and procedures are the same, regardless of where you are in Canada. The source of criminal law in Canada is the Criminal Code, which is federal legislation, and is applied uniformly throughout the country. This ensures that everyone in Canada is subject to the same criminal laws and penalties, regardless of where in the country they reside or commit a crime. As security personnel, understanding that criminal law is federal allows better preparation for cases that might involve criminal activities.
