SUMMARY - Policy Gaps and Overlaps

Canada's system of government divides powers among federal, provincial, territorial, municipal, and Indigenous governments. This division, rooted in the Constitution, creates a complex policy landscape where multiple jurisdictions may share responsibility for the same issues—or where no jurisdiction takes clear ownership. The resulting gaps and overlaps shape how Canadians experience public services, from healthcare and housing to environmental protection and income support.
