+# Discovery notes - Canada
+
+Date: 2026-07-06.
+
+## Why Canada, and why now
+
+An earlier scouting pass (2026-07-04) only looked at CanLII (case law) for
+Canada and ruled it out on ToS grounds. It did not check the Justice Laws
+Website for legislation. Live probing on 2026-07-06 found it works exactly
+like the cleanest connectors in this fleet: keyless, direct XML per
+document, bilingual, both acts and regulations on the same URL pattern.
+Market size (the Federation of Law Societies of Canada's own "About Us"
+page, flsc.ca/about-us/, states law societies regulate "more than 136,000
+lawyers" - a standing figure, not verified against a specific year during
+this session) combined with this architecture made it the clear pick over
+Mexico in this round - Mexico's federal law
+portals (`diputados.gob.mx/LeyesBiblio`, `ordenjuridico.gob.mx`,
+`dof.gob.mx`) returned connection failures on every endpoint tried and have
+no documented API; still DEFER, as in the earlier sweep.
+
+## What's confirmed live
+
+- `https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/XML/C-46.xml` - 200, well-formed XML,
+  `lims` namespace, consolidation date attributes, no external DTD (unlike
+  Ireland's ISB, which needed the DTD workaround).
+- `https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/fra/XML/C-46.xml` - French version, 200.
+- `https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/XML/SOR-2018-151.xml` - a regulation
+  on the same path pattern, 200.
+- `https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/index.html` and
+  `https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2018-151/index.html`
+  - the public HTML pages, both 200 (note: acts and regulations live under
+  different path segments, `acts/` vs `regulations/` - this connector
+  detects which one to use from the code prefix).
+
+## Not resolved
+
+- No confirmed reuse license for Justice Laws Website content beyond "it is
+  the official public consolidation, meant for public use" - flagged in
+  SOURCES.md, same caution class as other Crown/amtliche-Werke-style
+  government legal text. Does not block a keyless-fetch connector (we are
+  not redistributing a bulk copy), but should be confirmed before any
+  bulk/offline mode.
+- `laws-lois-api.justice.gc.ca`, referenced in some older documentation
+  found via web search, returned 404 on every path tried - likely retired
+  or never public. Not used.

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

+(laws-lois.justice.gc.ca), the Department of Justice Canada's official
+source for consolidated Acts and regulations. Bilingual (English/French).
+
+## What this is not
+
+- **No free-text search** - the Justice Laws Website has no search API of
+  its own. This connector is by-code only (the same limitation as
+  `ie-eli-mcp` for Ireland): you need to already know the code (e.g.
+  `"C-46"` for the Criminal Code) or a short title to look one up.
+- **Federal only** - provincial and territorial legislation is out of scope.
+- **No case law** - CanLII's terms of service forbid bulk redistribution and
+  its content API requires a per-identity key, which breaks the
+  zero-cloud pattern this connector otherwise follows. Not attempted here.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `ca_get_document` | Metadata (title, in-force status, last-consolidated date) for one act or regulation |
+| `ca_get_text` | Full consolidated XML text of the same document |
+
+Every response carries `lex_uri` (the XML source), `source_url` (the public
+HTML page), and `human_readable_citation` (e.g. `"Criminal Code (C-46)"`).

+## Justice Laws Website (`laws-lois.justice.gc.ca`)
+
+- **Origin**: Department of Justice Canada.
+- **License**: Government of Canada material. No explicit reuse license was
+  found on the site itself during discovery; treat as informational-use
+  government material pending confirmation, same caution class as amtliche
+  Werke in Germany (see `mcp-de-legal`'s THIRD_PARTY notes for the pattern).
+  This connector fetches from the official live site directly - it does not
+  vendor or redistribute the official GitHub mirror
+  (`justicecanada/laws-lois-xml`, license field `NOASSERTION` on GitHub),
+  which was used only as a confirmation that the XML corpus is officially
+  maintained and actively updated (last push 2026-07-02).
+- **Access**: keyless, direct XML at `/{lang}/XML/{code}.xml` (`lang` is
+  `eng` or `fra`), confirmed live 2026-07-06 for both acts (e.g. `C-46`,
+  the Criminal Code) and regulations (e.g. `SOR-2018-151`).
+- **Coverage**: federal Acts and regulations only. No search endpoint - by
+  code only.
+
+## Not covered (out of scope for this connector)
+
+- **CanLII** (case law) - terms of service forbid bulk redistribution,
+  content API requires a per-identity key. An earlier scouting pass
+  (2026-07-04) already ruled this out for the zero-cloud pattern this fleet
+  follows; not revisited here.
+- **Provincial/territorial legislation** - each province publishes
+  separately; not surveyed in this pass.
+- **GovInfo-style bulk archive** - the official GitHub mirror
+  (`justicecanada/laws-lois-xml`) could support a future offline/bulk mode,
+  but its license is unclear (GitHub reports `NOASSERTION`) - would need
+  confirmation before vendoring.

+2. `ca_get_text` - the full consolidated XML of the same document.
+
+## Hard constraints
+
+- **No free-text search** - the Justice Laws Website is addressed by code, not keywords (same limitation as ie-eli-mcp for Ireland). Discover a code from an external reference (a citation the user already has, or a known short title) before calling these tools.
+- **Every response has `human_readable_citation` + `source_url`** - cite both to the user.
+- **No full-text search across all Canadian law** - this is federal legislation only; provincial/territorial law is out of scope.
+- **Audit log JSONL** - every tool call appends to `~/.matematic/audit/ca-eli-mcp.jsonl`.
+
+## Error iteration
+
+Tools return a structured error with a `[code]` prefix:
+- `invalid_arg` - a parameter is missing or malformed.
+- `not_found` - no act or regulation exists for that code.
+- `upstream_error` - a Justice Laws Website error (HTTP, timeout). Retry once before surfacing.
+
+## Response style
+
+- Cite documents as `human_readable_citation`: "Criminal Code (C-46)".
+- NEVER invent a code or title - take each from the tool output.
