The Criminal Code is

  1. Municipal Law

  2. Provincial Law

  3. Federal Law

  4. All of the above

The correct answer is: Federal Law

The Criminal Code is classified as Federal Law. In Canada, the division of legal responsibilities is based on the Constitution Act, 1867, where certain areas of law were assigned to the federal government and others to the provincial governments. Among the areas assigned to the federal government is the responsibility for criminal law. Therefore, the Criminal Code, which contains most of the criminal laws of Canada, is federal legislation that is applied consistently across all provinces and territories. This means that it's a law that is applicable throughout the whole federation of Canada, not limited to any province (like a Provincial Law) or city (like a Municipal Law).
