Legislation

For laws and legislation, take a look at the website of the governing body for the area of interest. For example, you might want to look at the Government of Ontario's e-Laws website; or the Justice Laws Web Site from the Government of Canada's Department of Justice - it contains current consolidated acts and regulations.
