What is the connection between K’ómoks laws and federal and provincial laws?
For the most part, K’ómoks laws will regulate K’ómoks issues and will not conflict with any federal or provincial laws. Some laws may be “inconsistent” or in “conflict.” This means that if a person obeys one law, he or she will violate the other law. For each subject matter, the treaty will specify which law will outweigh the other. The AIP sets out which laws prevail in each circumstance. Generally, K’ómoks laws prevail except for cases where federal and provincial laws govern national or provincial standards.
