Disallowance And Reservation In Canada
Disallowance and reservation are historical constitutional powers in Canada that act as a mechanism to delay or overrule legislation passed by Parliament or a provincial legislature. In contemporary Canadian history, disallowance is an authority granted to the governor general in council (federal cabinet) to invalidate an act (also called a "statute") passed by a provincial legislature. Reservation is an authority granted to the lieutenant governor to withhold royal assent from a bill which has been passed by a provincial legislature; the bill is then "reserved" for consideration by the federal cabinet. In Canadian constitutional law, the powers of reservation and disallowance of federal legislation formally remain in place in section 55 and section 56 of the ''Constitution Act, 1867'', and are extended to provincial legislation by section 90. The initial intent of disallowance, and its practice for the first few years of Confederation, was considered a means of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
