''Ontario (AG) v Canada Temperance Federation'' was a famous Canadian constitutional decision of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council and was among the first cases to examine the peace, order, and good government power of the Constitution Act, 1867. This was the first decision to bring back the "national concerns" branch of peace, order, and good government since it was first suggested in the Local Prohibitions case. == Background== In June 1939, the Ontario government posed the following reference question to the Court of Appeal of Ontario: In presenting its case, Ontario argued that: #While the Act had been declared valid in ''Russell v. The Queen'', Viscount Haldane had commented in the later case of ''Toronto Electric Commissioners v. Snider'' that ''Russell'' could only be supported now on the ground that it was dealing with a matter that was "a menace to the national life of Canada" at that time (i.e., an emergency). #When the revised Act was enacted in 1927 having been originally enacted in 1878 and revised in 1886 there were no circumstances when enabled the Parliament of Canada to legislate anew. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ontario (AG) v Canada Temperance Federation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
