The Supreme Court of Canada can make some decisions that bind both the federal Parliament and provincial legislatures. This is because it has the power of judicial review and can interpret the Constitution to ensure that both levels of government are operating within their respective spheres of authority. However, the Supreme Court of Canada is not always subject to decisions made by the federal Parliament and does not have the power to override Parliament in all areas. The correct composition of the Supreme Court of Canada is nine judges appointed by the federal government.
