Document Summary
Applications for enrollment, call and admission, or reinstatement 19 (1) Good character and repute, and fit to become a barrister and a solicitor of the supreme court. Bna (british n america) act section 91 and 92 powers. Could parliament of canada amend this act: act of british parliament, not canadian statute. Problems with repatriation: our main constitutional doc was the law of someone else"s land, historically the problem was one of finding a formula that would provide for the amendment of the constitution. If no amending formula, leave it in london: constitutional conferences for decades. Trudeau announced he was going to repatriate the constitution. Wanted an amending formula that pleased quebec. So rest of provinces hammered out amending formula. Legitimate in the sense that quebecers were represented within the gov"t party. Quebecers still call it the night of the long knives: supposedly when the 9 other premiers ganged up on quebec on creating amending formula.
