Abstract

This article examines the current uncertainty as to jurisdiction over offshore oil and gas explorations in Canada and canvasses the solutions other countries have formulated. The author then suggests that the Federal law of Canada should be extended to the offshore with the law of the province adjacent the area incorporated by reference to supplement the Federal law where necessary.
