Canada’s Supreme Court The highest court of appeal in the land Consists of 9 judges appointed by the PM – 3 from Quebec, 3 from Ontario, 2 from the West, 1 from the East Gives its interpretation of how the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is applied in Canada Settles jurisdictional disputes between federal and provincial government Often asked to rule on the principles of a bill before it is passed
