Section 91(2) Of The Constitution Act, 1867
Section 91(2) of the ''Constitution Act, 1867'', also known as the trade and commerce power, grants the Parliament of Canada the authority to legislate on: The development of Canadian constitutional law has given this power characteristics that are unique from those that are specified in the United States Constitution's Commerce Clause and the Australian Constitution's interstate trade and commerce power. Initial jurisprudence First examined in '' Citizen's Insurance Co. v. Parsons'' (1881), Sir Montague Smith of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council determined its scope thus: Therefore, ''Parsons'' establishes three basic propositions about the trade and commerce power that have underlined all subsequent jurisprudence: Initially the scope for extraprovincial trade was set very narrowly by the Privy Council. In the '' Board of Commerce case'', the Privy Council suggested that the trade and commerce power applied only as an ancillary power to some other valid federal ...

Dormant Commerce Clause
The Dormant Commerce Clause, or Negative Commerce Clause, in American constitutional law, is a legal doctrine that courts in the United States have inferred from the Commerce Clause in Article I of the US Constitution. The primary focus of the doctrine is barring state protectionism. The Dormant Commerce Clause is used to prohibit state legislation that discriminates against, or unduly burdens, interstate or international commerce. Courts first determine whether a state regulation discriminates on its face against interstate commerce or whether it has the purpose or effect of discriminating against interstate commerce. If the statute is discriminatory, the state has the burden to justify both the local benefits flowing from the statute and to show the state has no other means of advancing the legitimate local purpose. For example, it is lawful for Michigan to require food labels that specifically identify certain animal parts, if they are present in the product, because the ...

Natural Products Marketing Act
The Natural Products Marketing Act was passed by the government of R. B. Bennett in 1934. It was the subject of an appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, which delivered its judgment on 28 January 1937, along with the repudiations of three labour statutes and the Employment and Social Insurance Act, all passed by Bennett.

Canadian Federalism
Canadian federalism () involves the current nature and historical development of the federal system in Canada. Canada is a federation with eleven components: the national Government of Canada and ten provincial governments. All eleven governments derive their authority from the Constitution of Canada. There are also three territorial governments in the far north, which exercise powers delegated by the federal parliament, and municipal governments which exercise powers delegated by the province or territory. Each jurisdiction is generally independent from the others in its realm of legislative authority. The division of powers between the federal government and the provincial governments is based on the principle of exhaustive distribution: all legal issues are assigned to either the federal Parliament or the provincial Legislatures. The division of powers is set out in the ''Constitution Act, 1867'' (originally called the ''British North America Act, 1867''), a key do ...

Canada Temperance Act
The ''Canada Temperance Act'' (french: Loi de tempérance du Canada), also known as the ''Scott Act'', was an Act of the Parliament of Canada passed in 1878, which provided for a national framework for municipalities to opt in by plebiscite to a scheme of prohibition. It was repealed in 1984. Pre-Confederation colonial legislation Temperance legislation of general application had been enacted by the various colonies as early as 1855, when New Brunswick implemented total prohibition to mixed success. Others, beginning with the Province of Canada on the passage of the ''Dunkin Act'' in 1864, named after its sponsor Christopher Dunkin, opted to allow local municipalities to implement temperance upon an approval by plebiscite. The Act proved to be problematic in its operation following the division of the Province into Ontario and Quebec. In ''Ex parte O'Neill'', RJQ 24 SC 304, it was held that the Legislative Assembly of Quebec could not repeal the ''Dunkin Act'', but it could pass a ...
