• Summary:"The effective distribution of powers between various levels of government is critical to large countries - and Canada is no exception. A distribution of powers allows for the creation of local governments that are better suited to manage and address the specific needs of local populations. In addition, in countries like Canada where there is a linguistic, religious or cultural minority, a distribution of powers helps ensure that that minority population has certain powers that are particular to their needs or wishes. In Canada, sections 91 and 92 of the Constitution Act, 1867 set out the distribution of powers between the federal and provincial governments, and the Act also administers to the specific needs stemming from Quebec's linguistic differences as compared to English Canada. Written by veteran lawyer and constitutional law expert, Donald Bur, Law of the Constitution: The Distribution of Powers offers an insightful and thorough look at the distribution of powers in Canada between the federal and provincial governments, and provides an analysis of how the courts have treated and decided the issues that have arisen in this context."-- Provided by publisher.
