Government of Quebec: Supreme Court of Canada

Supreme Court of Canada: Quebecs written brief filed last week is a sharp taste of what the Supreme Court of Canada can expect Wednesday when it hears a landmark reference case on who can sit as a Supreme Court of Canada judge, according to The Star. The PQ government of Quebec says Harper not only had no legal or constitutional right to name Nadon in the first place; the prime minister had no business trying to retroactively change the law without the unanimous consent of the Commons, Senate, and each provincial legislature and OTTAWA Quebec is coming out swinging against the judicial appointment of Marc Nadon , denouncing Stephen Harpers failure to consult in advance of naming a federal court judge to a Quebec seat as an illegal, unconstitutional act. In some ways, its all about Quebec. And in the province, the Nadon appointment raised hackles. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
