Canada's approach to the treaty-making process / Laura Barnett, Legal and Legislative Affairs Division, Parliamentary Information and Research Service.: YM32-2/2008-45-2018E-PDF

"In Canada, the negotiation, signature and ratification of international treaties are controlled by the executive branch of the federal government, while Parliament is responsible for the implementation of such treaties at the federal level. This Background Paper explores Canada's approach to the negotiation, signature, ratification and implementation of international treaties at the federal level, including a description of power over international affairs, the treaty‑making process itself, various compliance mechanisms, and the federal‑provincial/territorial relationship with respect to international treaties"--Introduction, page 1.
