The doctrine applies in Canada ,where there is a federal law and a provincial law that are each valid and consistent.

---where there is a valid and consistent Federal law and a provincial law
or
as it says each to be should be changed to is

still confused, :?:

To me "there is/are" referring to compound noun, hence plural is required.

Although post-comma part of the sentence is modifying "Canada", it does not have to agree with "Canada".

Ravshonbek · Answer

Right, sounds ok.
there is no modifier in the sentence, as it says doctrine works in canada, because there are ..... , but what about the part after THAT, where it isays --that are each --- as each refers to each single item, should there be IS or ARE

confusin :?:

The only problem is that it should be 'there are'...use of 'each' is ok.
