Morrill, Chair Professor Leti P. Volpp Professor Marianne Constable Fall 2015 Abstract Partial Histories: Constituting a Conflict between Women's Equality Rights and Indigenous Sovereignty in Canada by Genevieve Painter Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Calvin K. Morrill, Chair This dissertation is a history of an idea, a retelling of a simple story about an idea as a complicated one, and an explanation of the effects of believing the simple story. From 1869 to 1985, to be an Indian in the eyes of the Canadian state – to be a “status Indian” – a person had to have a status Indian father. The Canadian government registered a population of Indigenous people as status Indians and decided that Indian status passed along the male line. If an Indian man married a non-Indian woman, his wife gained status and their children were status Indians. In contrast, if a status Indian woman married a non-Indian man, she lost her Indian status, and her children were not status Indians.

Dead Hands, Living Trees, Historic Compromises: The eS nate Reform and Supreme Court Act References Bring the Originalism Debate to Canada Abstract Recent American debates about the relationship between the historic political compromises underlying constitutional provisions and their contemporary judicial application have been largely ignored in Canada. The uS preme Court of Canada has only twice referred to originalism—and never positively. But in two 2014 decisions about how central institutions of government—the Senate and the Supreme Court of Canada itself—might be changed, the Court relied on the underlying historic political compromises to interpret the Constitution, rejecting arguments from the text or democratic principle.

SCOTUS Mark Mina Mikhaiel, Esq.* ABSTRACT: This article deals with diverging approaches to the question of a legal reference in Canada and the United States. A reference is a hypothetical question of law posed to a court. In Canada references are accepted whereas in the United States they are prohibited as violating the separation of powers doctrine and unconstitutional under Article III of the U.S. Constitution. Canada should eliminate the reference procedure and limit judges to opine on matters of actual controversy, as is the case in the United States. TABLE OF CONTENTS I.

    Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta Citation: British Columbia (Attorney General) v Alberta (Attorney General), 2019 ABQB 550 Date: 20190719 Docket: 1901 06115 Registry: Calgary Between: Attorney General of British Columbia Plaintiff - and - Attorney General of Alberta Defendant _______________________________________________________ Memorandum of Decision of the Honourable Mr. Justice R.J. Hall _______________________________________________________ Introduction [1] On May 18, 2018, the Alberta Lieutenant Governor gave royal assent to the Preserving Canada’s Economic Prosperity Act, SA 2018, c P-21.5 (the “Act”). The Act, colloquially known as the “Turn Off the Taps” legislation, authorizes the Alberta Minister of Energy to implement a licensing scheme for the export of Alberta’s natural energy resources, including natural gas, crude oil, and refined fuels. The Attorney General of British Columbia (the “AGBC”) suggests that the true purpose of the Act, based on the statements of elected officials inside and outside the Page: 2 Alberta Legislative Assembly, is to punish the British Columbia government for its opposition to the Trans Mountain Expansion Project. [2] On May 22, 2018, even though the Act had not yet been proclaimed into force, the AGBC filed an action in this court challenging its constitutionality. The AGBC contends that the Act is contrary to sections 92A(2) and 121 of the Constitution Act, 1867, which limit provincial authority over petroleum exports to unrefined products and forbid discrimination, and guarantee free admission of products of one province into another, respectively. [3] The Attorney General of Alberta (the “AGAB”) brought an application to dismiss the action as premature. On February 22, 2019, I granted the AGAB’s application and dismissed the action because the Act was not law “in force in Alberta” at the time.

  • The Charter and Administrative Decision- Making
    1 The Charter and Administrative Decision- Making * David MULLAN A. Introduction The Charter is now twenty-two years old. For much of that time, the extent and nature of its application to administrative decision-making was a matter of considerable conjecture. Certainly, the Charter had an almost immediate impact on some areas of Administrative Law most notably in the domains of convention refugees1 and persons subject to various constraints on their physical liberty and particularly the incarcerated2 and those on parole.3 For those categories, section 7’s guarantees of the “principles of fundamental justice” when the right to “life, liberty and security of the person” was at stake provided a range of procedural protections not necessarily guaranteed by the common law and, indeed, in the face of legislation both primary and subordinate. There was also an early body of case law about the extent to which section 7 and other provisions of the Charter limited the investigative capacities of certain administrative agencies. * Professor, Queen’s University, Faculty of Law, Kingston, Ontario, May 12, 2004. This is a revised version of a paper delivered originally at the 2002 Law Society of Manitoba Pitblado Lectures and entitled “The Charter and Administrative Proceedings”, publication of which is scheduled for later in 2004, and recently updated for the Court of Appeal for Ontario Education Seminar, held at Niagara-on- the-Lake on May 28, 2004. Along with Justice Barry Strayer, I also addressed this topic at the 1990 Pitblado Lectures: see Mr. Justice Barry Strayer, “The Application of the Charter in Administrative Law: Getting Your Foot in the Door” in Public Interest v.

  • The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960
    The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960 by Eric M. Adams A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science Graduate Department of Law University of Toronto © Copyright by Eric M. Adams 2009 The Idea of Constitutional Rights and the Transformation of Canadian Constitutional Law, 1930-1960 Eric M. Adams SJD 2009 Graduate Department of Law, University of Toronto ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that the idea of constitutional rights transformed Canadian constitutional law well before the entrenchment of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Specifically, it locates the origins of Canada’s twentieth-century rights revolution in the constitutional thinking of scholars, lawyers, judges, and politicians at mid-century (1930-1960). Drawing on archival documents, personal papers, government reports, parliamentary debates, case law, and legal scholarship, this work traces the constitutional thought and culture that first propelled human rights and fundamental freedoms to the forefront of the Canadian legal imagination. As a work of legal history, it also seeks to revive the dormant spirit of constitutional history that once pervaded the discipline of Canadian constitutional law. The Introduction situates the chapters that follow within the emerging Canadian historiography of rights. Chapter Two traces the origins of Frank Scott’s advocacy for constitutional rights to the newer constitutional law, an approach to constitutional scholarship sparked by the social and political upheavals of the Depression, and the influence of Roscoe Pound’s sociological ii jurisprudence. Chapter Three explores the varied dimensions of the Second World War’s influence on the nascent idea of Canadian constitutional rights.

    NOVEL USES OF THE CHARTER FOLLOWING DORÉ AND LOYOLA 73 NOVEL USES OF THE CHARTER FOLLOWING DORÉ AND LOYOLA EDWARD J. COTTRILL* Doré and Loyola affirmed that administrative decision-makers have a duty to balance statutory aims and values protected by the Charter. In several cases, decision-makers have weighed Charter protections and values on both sides of a contested issue. Sometimes this is a matter of a genuine conflict between different Charter restraints on the state. In other situations, Charter values or even Charter rights have been found to weigh on the side of state action, providing support and justification for an otherwise Charter-infringing state act. Such cases challenge an orthodox understanding of the Charter’s nature and role. In this article, the author describes the orthodox view of the Charter within a broadly classical liberal model; that is, as being a restraint on the state, as affecting government rather than private conduct, and as being a source of few free-standing positive entitlements. The author then describes the pre-Doré exceptions to these basic precepts and contrasts the uses made of the Charter by administrative decision-makers via the balancing prescribed in Doré and Loyola, noting where the outcome or analysis has challenged an orthodox conception of our Charter. The article then situates these developments within contemporary discussions of the relevance of orthodox liberal constitutionalism in Canada. 2018 CanLIIDocs 168 TABLE OF CONTENTS I.
