What do I use as a qualifier when the LC SCM dictates that entities with identical names need to be distinguished by the “next smaller jurisdiction”?
This policy has to do with the choice of “next smaller jurisdiction” to the name of the province or territory when the LC SCM dictates that entities with identical names need to be distinguished through the addition of a smaller jurisdiction to the qualifier. Unlike the United States, where most states are divided into counties, in Canada there are a variety of “next smaller jurisdiction” types. Use whichever one is appropriate for the province or territory, according to the chart below.
