There are other codes in Canada too, even outside of Quebec, like the Criminal Code of Canada.

Right, but that in itself doesn't make it a civil system.

If I recall correctly Quebec separates by private and "public" law, so if you get divorced or break up a company it's one system, if you steal from someone, the other.

Somehow it's all hybridized and works.
