Order of precedence for flags
One flag: A single flag is placed in the centre of the stage. However, on a podium, it must be placed to the left of the lectern.

Three flags: The Canadian flag must be placed in the centre, with the second most important flag hung to the left (stage left) and the third most important flag to the right (stage right).
Four flags: When there are four flags, they must be placed in descending order from left to right, meaning from the most important to the least.
