Legislation - In Canada laws are made at the federal level by Parliament and at the provincial levels by the provincial legislatures. There is a process involved which carries what is called a Bill (or a proposed law) into force when it receives Royal Assent, or on a day specified in the legislation, or upon proclamation. Common Law - Law is also created in Canada, and throughout out the common law countries of the world, by judges. Common law is judge made law. When a judge makes a decision in a case, it becomes a binding precedent which other judges must follow if faced with the same issue. However, the law, as with most things, changes in time too. So, what is law today could change tomorrow, or next week, or in 20 years, etc.. Therefore, in Canada, the elected officials make law (legislation, or written laws), and judges make law (common law).
