THE ENERGY CRUNCH AND CONSTITUTIONAL REFORM

Authors

  • JOHN BISHOP BALLEM

Abstract

This article discusses provisions in the B.N.A. Act that enable a legislative balance between federal and provincial regulation of natural resources. The author believes that Canada has been well served by its constitution in this regard, as ambiguity and flexibility correspond well with the realities of oil and gas. His only criticism of the constitutional framework relates to the federal declaratory power of section 92.10(c), which he would like to see eliminated.
