«« PQ Lettre ouverte à mon premier ministre Canadian Constitution et défaites électorales (*) Jean-Luc Gouin, Québec TRIBUNE LIBRE 19 avril 2002 (Texte publié dans LeSoleil du 24.4.2002 sous le titre : Le rapatriement unilatéral de la «Canadian Constitution») «Comme s’ils ne savaient pas ce qu’il y a de lâcheté dans la modestie.» Charles de Gaulle, à propos de ses compatriotes, in André Malraux, Les Chênes qu’on abat M. Landry, Dans les derniers mois, M. le Premier ministre, vous avez visé – et misé sur – le centre de l'échiquier politique souverainiste. Quelque part en quelque sorte entre le chaud et le tiède. Non sans raison, non sans motifs articulés et conséquents. Certes. Or effectivement, il faut en prendre acte avec humilité, j'imagine, nous n'assistons pas aux résultats escomptés ; résultats appelés de vos voeux et espérés par vous et votre équipe, bien sûr, mais au moins tout autant par les membres de la grande famille de ces Québécois, nombreux quoique fort discrets pour l’heure, dont la volonté de liberté du peuple auquel ils appartiennent leur reste, envers et contre tout, profondément, indubitablement et désespérément chevillée au coeur. Ainsi qu'à leur science du destin. De peuple «colonisé» à « quelque chose comme un grand peuple », celui-là même dont nous entretenait M. Lévesque il y a quelque vingt-cinq ans, il semblerait hélas que nous soyons à nouveau irrésistiblement séduits, comme entité collective (en cela largement encouragés, il faut bien le dire, par tous les Jean C rien et tous les Stéphane D paysé du territoire, que l'Histoire d'ailleurs jugera avec grande sévérité) par la première éventualité de l'alternative : un peuple satisfait, voire heureux de sa complaisante sujétion à une autorité étrangère, à un autre peuple.

Welcome Preface Introduction The Foundations The Institutions The Work Continuing Traditions For more info. ... Print copy (pdf) The Foundations A Tree with Strong Roots A British Model, a Canadian Constitution The Building Blocks of Parliament Discussion is a fundamental part of any democratic system.  As a nation, every day, we hear and present viewpoints, we struggle with issues, we reach agreement on actions, we share ideas and dreams — and we create the laws, policies and programs that are the framework for the national vision. Parliament is a place of discussion and debate.  You can see it in Question Period, when Ministers are called to account for their actions and policies.  It’s there in caucus meetings when party members hammer out their position on issues that will determine the country’s future.  It’s there in committees, when members of industry or labour or any interest group speak out about the Government’s policies.  Such debate is the basis of democracy. A Tree with Strong Roots By 1864, many people in the British North American colonies were discussing the benefits of union.  They could do much together that they could not do separately — pooling their economic resources to overcome the challenges of a vast geography and working together to protect themselves against the economic and military dominance of the United States.  Their solution — Confederation — did much to respect the deep differences in economic interest, language, religion, law and education among the regions that came together in 1867. Confederation established the constitutional agreements and the Parliament we know today.

Joseph E. Magnet Constitutional Law of Canada, 8th ed. (2001) Part VI Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms Chapter 1. Introduction (a) The Charter: Origins And Expectations - Research Note - Canada's Constitution prior to 1982 Canada has a written Constitution which acknowledges a similarity in principle to the English system. Prior to the patriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982, the Canadian Constitution consisted of a number of British statutes. Most important was the British North America Act, 1867 and its various amendments. The Canadian Constitution represents a marriage of parliamentarism and federalism. Parliamentary government implies that complete legislative power vests in Parliament (parliamentary sovereignty). Federalism implies a distribution of legislative powers between the federal and provincial governments. Parliamentary sovereignty resides between two "sovereign-like" orders of government. Prior to 1982, Canadian courts reviewed the exercise of lawmaking power by federal and provincial legislative bodies by the doctrine of legal federalism. Legal federalism concerns conflicts as to whether a challenged law falls within provincial or federal jurisdiction, the implication being that invasion of federal jurisdiction by a province is illegal or unconstitutional, and vice versa. [A list of Canada's most important Constitutional Acts which remain in force can be found in the QL database CAC.]

RESEARCHING CANADIAN LAW Underwood Law Library Southern Methodist University Guide 703 Revised January, 2001 CONSTITUTION The Canadian constitution originated from numerous statutes and is not based on a single document. Prior to April 17, 1982, the written component of the constitution consisted primarily of three British statutes enacted by the Parliament of Great Britain. The three statutes - the Colonial Laws Validity Act of 1865, the British North America Act of 1867 ("B.N.A. Act"), and the Statute of Westminster of 1931 - provided the basic framework for the Canadian constitution. The B.N.A. Act was the most important component of the written constitution. Any law passed by the Canadian Parliament or a legislature had to conform to the jurisdictional constraints set out in the B.N.A. Act. After a decade of constitutional negotiations between the provinces and the federal government to restructure and modernize the Canadian constitution, Parliament approved and enacted the Canada Act of 1982 . It contains schedule B, the

Highlights of the Canadian Constitution Canada's constitution is the basic set of rules for running the country. Following are what I consider to be the most important parts of these two Acts. I have tried to paraphrase each section in plain English. CONSTITUTION ACT, 1867 51. The provinces shall be assigned a number of seats in the House of Commons roughly proportionate to their populations. 91. the "preamble" to S.91 is the "POGG" clause (peace, order and good government): It shall be lawful for [Parliament] to make laws for the peace, order and good government of Canada, in relation to all matters NOT coming within the subject-matters assigned exclusively to the Provinces in S. 92. For greater certainty, Parliament may make laws with regard to matters covered by the following list. However, this list merely provides examples, and these examples are not to be interpreted by courts as limiting Parliament's power. 2. Trade and Commerce 2A. Unemployment insurance (added in 1940) 3.
