A fourth Act to harmonize federal law with the civil law of Quebec and to amend certain Acts in order to ensure that each language version takes into account the common law and the civil law

Bill S-11 was a government bill (sometimes called the Quebec Civil Code Harmonization Act, 4th Act) harmonizing federal law with the civil law of Quebec. Federal statutes that affect both common-law and civil-law jurisdictions must be harmonized with the Civil Code of Quebec (RLRQ c. CCQ-1991), particularly affecting property, contract, succession, and family law. The bill is the fourth in a series after Harmonization Acts 1 (S.C. 2001, c. 4), 2 (S.C. 2004, c. 25), and 3 (S.C. 2011, c. 21). It amended multiple federal statutes including the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, the Income Tax Act, and the Special Import Measures Act to align with civil-law concepts. Royal assent and in force during 44-1.
