Yes, in cases where the criminal code, statutes, or regulations are involved. Also with summary offences that are created by federal parliament, less serious indictable offences, and hybrid offences where the accused chooses to be heard in a provincial court. The provincial courts have jurisdiction over their provinces, but federal law still applies in each province.
