Saskatchewan Federation Of Labour V Saskatchewan
''Saskatchewan Federation of Labour v Saskatchewan'' 0151 SCR 245is a Canadian labour law case on the right to strike. Facts The Saskatchewan Federation of Labour and a group of other unions claimed that two new provincial statutes violated the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by suppressing the freedom to take collective action and collective bargaining. The government of Saskatchewan introduced Public Service Essential Services Act 2008 which would have unilaterally designated public sector workers' services as "essential" and therefore prohibited strike action. The new Trade Union Amendment Act 2008 increased the level of employee support to unionize, so making it more difficult to organize a union. Judgment The Canadian Supreme Court held that the Public Service Essential Services Act 2008 was an unwarranted interference with the right to strike and the right to collective bargaining, as previously elaborated in '' Health Services and Support – Facilities Subsector ...

Background In 1995, Parliament passed the ''Firearms Act'', which required long gun owners to register their guns. The Supreme Court found that the ''Act'' was within the federal criminal law power. In 2012, Parliament repealed the requirement to register long guns through the ''Ending the Long-gun Registry Act'' (''ELRA'') and sought to delete the information in its registry.

When the federal government declined to share the information, Quebec argued that section 29 of the ''ELRA'', the provision disbanding the long gun registry, was beyond the powers of the federal government.
