FEDERALISM AND UNIFORMITY OF LAWS: THE CANADIAN EXPERIENCE.
- Authors
PALMER, E. E.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the federalism and uniformity of laws in Canada's legislation. As stated, the future for uniformity of legislation in Canada is not encouraging because centrifugal forces in the area of legislative competence have been dominant. An effective body is required to counteract the tendency of provincial legislatures to enact diverse legislation on important matters. The hierarchy of courts, in the country is also becoming of less importance so its reorganization is needed along with a change in commercial matters. There are three areas of importance whose unanimity is a prerequisite to uniformity, the West, Ontario and Quebec.
