The arms of Canada are the arms of the sovereign and signify national sovereignty and ownership.[35] They are used as a mark of authority by various government agencies and representatives, including the prime minister[36] and Cabinet,[37] and most courts, including the Supreme Court,[38] as well as the Canadian Armed Forces and Royal Canadian Mounted Police.[39][40][41] It is also present on all pre-polymer denominations of Canadian banknotes (in fact, the way the arms were printed on each bill is a security feature),[42] as well as the 50¢ coin,[43] and on the cover of Canadian passports.[44] Since 1962, a banner of the arms, defaced with a variant of the Queen's cypher, has formed the sovereign's standard for Canada, for use by the Queen in her capacity as monarch of Canada.[45] Since, six additional standards for use by other members of the Canadian Royal Family have been created.
