Yes, Canada's constitution is known as the Constitution Act, 1867. It contains many important parts of Canadian law. It deals with the division of powers in government and states that Parliament must "make laws for the peace, order and good government of Canada." It contains the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which dictate the rights that are applicable to all persons in Canada (even if they're just visiting) as well as the rights held by citizens.
==================================================================
The "Peace, Order and good Government" clause in section 91 of the Act is not a "requirement" as such. Rather, it is a "residual" clause. It reserves to the federal government those matters not enumerated in section 92 of the Act as being exclusively provincial "heads of power."
The most important document of Canada's constitution is the Constitution Act, 1982.

∙ 13y agoTechnically, the Dominions are no longer referred to as Dominions, but rather, as Realms. However, whichever name you refer to it by, Canada continues to remain one.
=============================================================
Canada became a nation on July 1, 1867. Canada was the very first country to achieve its independence by means of legislation.
The term "dominion" was never part of Canada's name. It is merely a descriptive term.
Canada has a Constitution which, like that of other nations, has been amended from time to time.
