The Canadian Constitution Home Course Description Class Schedule SFU Library Catalogue ... Web Resources Course Description Even the mention of "The Constitution" is enough to get most Canadians screaming and running for the hills. The problems of repeated, unsuccessful attempts at constitutional change, and the on-going threat of Quebec separation have left most of us feeling something worse than an abscessed tooth! And yet... As important as national unity and constitutional amendment are, there is so very much more to Canada's constitution. This course will explore a wide variety of issues relating to the Canadian constitution. Much of our constitution is determined by informal rules that flesh out the bare bones of the law. The nature of these constitutional conventions will be analyzed, as well as specific matters regulated by them. A review of the main components and principles of the formal Constitution can provide a crucial insight into the division of powers between the federal and provincial governments. With a grasp of the original provisions in the 1867 Constitution Act, we can develop a much better appreciate of the many forces at work which propel constitutional evolution in Canada. Part of the course will be devoted to judicial interpretation of the Constitution, in order to see just what changes judges have made to the constitution as well as how they reached these decisions. In this light it is essential to study the principles which judges have developed to guide analyses of where the powers of one level of government end and those of the other begin - or overlap! With this foundation, the class can then discuss specific topics in the division of powers between the federal and provincial governments, the creation of new aboriginal governments, constitutional amendment, judicial power, and the Charter of Rights.

This means that the authority to make laws is divided between the parliament of Canada and the provincial legislatures. The federal parliament can make laws for the whole of Canada in respect of matters assigned to it by the Canadian Constitution. As well, the federal parliament has responsibility for the three territories. A provincial legislature, likewise, can make laws relative to the subject matters over which it has been assigned jurisdiction. There are also local or municipal governments. These governments are created under provincial law and can make by-laws dealing with a variety of local matters, such as zoning regulations and the issuance of construction permits. Finally, particular arrangements have been developed for Aboriginal peoples in the various regions of Canada. For example, Aboriginal governments can exercise a range of governmental powers over reserve lands and other territories covered by specific agreements negotiated with the federal and provincial governments.

ss("#D25400") Patrick Macklem Indigenous Difference and the Constitution of Canada University of Toronto Press, 2001 Indigenous Difference and the Constitution of Canada is a profound work and a remarkable achievement. It deserves study, engagement and celebration. It is an explanatory work as well as a thorough dialogue in constitutional theory and practices that raise tough political research issues and address them with subtle intellectual clarity. Macklem explores, maps and critiques the emerging constitutional and political relationship under the Constitution Act, 1982 . This constitutional reform affirmed a neglected relationship, framework and structure between Aboriginal peoples and the federal and provincial governments. This reform and relationship has posed an intractable challenge to most Canadian scholars, political researchers and journalists.

"The Constitution Act, 1982" was proclaimed but without the support of Quebec. This wasn't the first time that politicians had considered revisiting the Canadian constitutional question. On a number of occasions during the 1960s and 1970s, federal politicians had come close to reaching an agreement with the provinces regarding the Constitution. The agreement had involved repatriating the Constitution to Canada and creating a formula that would be used for any future amendments. Unfortunately, the discussions had fizzled out on each occasion. In 1980, only Ontario and New Brunswick were in favour of Trudeau's plan. The other provinces the "Gang of Eight" saw it as an attempt to weaken provincial rights. At a November 1981 conference, Trudeau sweetened the deal. All of the premiers fell into line; only Quebec Premier René Lévesque held his position. Since 1960, Quebec's leaders had asked for specific changes, and this deal did not meet those requests. Quebec would be the only province not to sign the agreement.

The British Parliament approved it on Mar. 25, 1982, and Queen Elizabeth II proclaimed it on Apr. 17, 1982. When Quebec residents voted (May, 1980) in a referendum not to seek sovereignty, Prime Minister Trudeau moved to create an amended constitution. The final document, agreed upon in Nov., 1981, by the federal government and every province except Quebec, combines the British North America Act of 1867, subsequent amendments to that act by the British Parliament, and new material resulting from 18 months of intense negotiations between federal and provincial powers. It contains a Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees 34 rights including religious freedom, minority language education, and cultural tolerance. The Charter contains a clause which allows many rights to be overridden in federal or provinical legislatures by a “notwithstanding clause.” Other parts of the Act recognize native treaty rights, increase the power provinces have over their natural resources, and provide an amendment formula, which requires approval of two-thirds (seven) of the provinces and 50% of the country's population. Quebec's attempts to oppose the Canada Act ended in Dec., 1982, when its claim to constitutional veto was rejected by the Supreme Court of Canada. Negotiations with Quebec continued with the

Contact Us Help Search Canada Site ... Development Fact Sheet: Aboriginal Rights In BC Aboriginal rights are based in history Before Europeans arrived in North America, various areas were home to First Nations along the coast and inland. Aboriginal rights stem from this prior occupancy; they are the rights held as a result of longstanding use and occupancy of the land. Under the law, the unique legal and constitutional status of First Nations derives from the fact that they are the descendants of the people that were resident in North America long before Europeans arrived. As early as the 18th century, Britain recognized that First Nations had claims to the land and major treaties were signed across Canada as settlement moved west. Until recently, the only treaties ever signed in British Columbia (B.C.) were the Douglas Treaties on Vancouver Island and Treaty 8, which was extended across the prairies and into northeastern B.C. By the time B.C. joined Confederation in 1871, the province's Aboriginal policy was set: the B.C. Government did not recognize Aboriginal title; therefore, they argued, there was no need to negotiate treaties in order to extinguish it. In the 21st century, the first modern treaty in B.C. came into effect - the Nisga'a Treaty. The last step needed to give legal effect to the Nisga'a Treaty took place on April 13, 2000, when Parliament passed the
