Parliament of Canada

Parliamentary debates online

There are 2 places to look for this.  One is for the historical debates up to the 1st session of the 35th Parliament (January 17, 1994 to February 2, 1996.  This may be found at:  http://parl.canadiana.ca/.  The other, which carries the information forward to the present time is at:  http://www.parl.gc.ca/Default.aspx?Language=E.  In both cases, you need decide if you want the debates, journals or committees  of the House of Commons or the Senate and you need to decide which session of Parliament you want to search.  It's a bit awkward but eventually you get used to searching it.

Canada Gazette: Our print holdings for Part I start in 1974 and Part II start in 1955, so we no longer have any access to the Canada Gazette, from 1893 to 1955 when our print holdings begin. Our print Part I is index only from 1955-1974 while Part II (Regulations) starts in 1955. 

There is a print copy at the Alberta Law Libraries at the courthouse that can be used by anyone during their business hours (8:15am-4:00pm)
