CHAPTER III THE SOURCES OF THE LAw AND CUSTOM OF THE CONSTITUTION. THE legal rules and constitutional customs that form the « Constitutional Law and Custom” of Canada are derived from seven sources:—(1) Imperial Acts, (2) Dominion Acts, (8) Provincial Acts, (4) Orders in Council issued under Im- perial, Dominion or Provincial authority, (5) Orders and rules of the Dominion Parliament and of Provincial Legislatures, (6) Usages, and (7) The Letters Patent, Commission and Instructions issued to the Governor-General. 1. Imperial Acts. Though the Union Act of 1867 con- tains the general scheme of the Constitution it has been supplemented by several subsequent and important statutes. The 34 & 35 Vie. (i) c. 28 conferred on the Dominion power to establish new provinces and to provide for the government of any territory not within the limits of a province, The 38 & 39 Vic. (i) c. 38 repealed the 18th section of the Act of 1867 relating to the privileges of the Dominion Parliament and more clearly defined the powers of the legis- lature to determine its own privileges, and the 49 & 50 Vic. (i) c. 35 authorized the Canadian Parliament to make pro- vision for the representation of new provinces in the Senate and House of Commons.
