Yes. Depending on how much you consider to be part of the ruleset, it's a somewhat diffuse set, possibly including ancient items such as the authoritative books on English Common Law. However, you can certainly start from the Constitution Act 1982 <http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/const/annex_e.html>, which contains explicit references to other parts of the Canadian constitution and lays down a procedure for amending the constitution. -zefram
