How to search government websites

It is quick and easy to search government websites.

1. Go to http://www.google.ca

2. type site: followed directly by the name of the government website.

3. type your search term.

Example: site:parl.gc.ca "bill 30"

Popular government websites: gc.ca (all federal government websites) parl.gc.ca (Parliament website), justice.gc.ca (Department of Justice), legassembly.sk.ca/hansard (debates of the Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly).  This strategy also works for all other non-governmental websites: site:admin.uregina.ca searches the website of the Faculty of Business Administation at the University of Regina.

Other tips: do you want to just search for pdfs?  Type *.pdf after your search term!
