The federal government has the power to make laws that affect the whole country. Examples are citizenship and immigration laws and criminal laws. Provincial governments, such as the Province of British Columbia have the power to make laws that apply only in that province. Examples are landlord and tenant laws, and laws about employment. Municipalities, cities and towns have the power to make local laws about such things as streets, parking, and noise. The laws for municipalities, cities and towns are called ''bylaws''. | The federal government has the power to make laws that affect the whole country.
