n. — French relations
the existence of two legal systems in Canada: French civil law and English common law.
Type: 4. Culturally Significant — Bijuralism is used to refer to the legal systems in other countries and therefore is not unique to Canada in its general sense. Referring specifically to the coexistence of common law and civil law in Canada, the term has been used by the Canadian Department of Justice since the 1995 policy of legislative bijuralism (see Dept. of Justice reference, see the 1997 quotation).
