What types of cases are heard in the Supreme Court of Canada?

  1. Cases of civil rights

  2. Financial disputes

  3. It only hears cases that it considers to be of public importance and have national significance.

  4. Traffic violations

The correct answer is: It only hears cases that it considers to be of public importance and have national significance.

The Supreme Court of Canada is the highest court in the country and only considers select cases that have national significance or are of public importance. Options A, B, and D may be heard in other courts or tribunals, but not in the Supreme Court. Only cases that address important legal issues or have the potential to impact society as a whole are considered by the highest court in Canada. This helps to ensure that the most important and complex legal issues are addressed by the most qualified judges in the country.
