In general, "canon" means the writings considered holy and authoritative.
The Bible itself does not mention a canon. I think you mean, "What is the canon OF the Bible?" This refers to the 66 books of the Old and New Testaments. They are canon because they have the authority to define Christianity.
Another example: Harry Potter fans sometimes refer to the ten books by J. K. Rowling as "the canon". This means they are the books that tell the real story of Harry Potter. The eight films and any other books written by Harry Potter fans do not count as canon.

Why does the Catholic Bible have more books than the Christian Bible?
All Christians realize that if God has revealed Himself by communicating His will to man, man must be able to know with assurance where that revelation lies. Hence the need for a list (i.e. canon) of books of the Bible. In other words, man needs to know without error (i.e. infallibly) what the books of the Bible are. There must be an authority which will make that decision.The canon of the Bible refers to the definitive list of the books which are considered to be divine revelation and included therein. A canon distinguishes what is revealed and divine from what is not revealed and human. Because God did not explicitly reveal what books are the inspired books of the Bible, title by title, to anyone, we must look to His guidance in discovering the canon of the Bible. Christians believe this guidance comes from the Holy Spirit and there has been a constant history of faithful people from Paul's time through the Apostolic Church (Catholic and Orthodox).Thus, Bibles that reject certain books came from the reformation and heretics that rejected this teaching of divine inspiration. These books are nacent compared to the first canon which was put together in the same century as Christ's death.Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Bible is the Christian Bible, and has been around for two thousand years. You are asking why the protestants have less books than the Christian Bible and that is because those books have beliefs in them that make them uncomfortable. As they only have the Bible to look to for their beliefs, they removed the books that talked about things they considered "Catholic".
