Section 92(10) of the ''Constitution Act, 1867'', also known as the works and undertakings power, grants the provincial legislatures of Canada the authority to legislate on: Section 92(10)(a) and (b) grants federal jurisdiction over modes of interprovincial and international transportation and communication, leaving intraprovincial transportation and communication to the provinces. Section 92(10)(c), however, applies to works of all types. The Parliament of Canada exercises authority over these three matters under section 91(29), which states: ==Extent of jurisdiction== The Economic Committee of the Privy Council held that: * "These works are physical things not services."〔''The City of Montreal v. Montreal Street Railway'' () A.C. 333〕 * "'Undertaking' is not a physical thing but is an arrangement under which of course physical things are used."〔''Radio Reference'' () A.C. 304〕 A work or undertaking will be under government control under section 69(10) where it is connecting the province with something outside of the province. This does not mean that physical connection is sufficient. An undertaking will be considered "connecting" where business operations extend beyond the provincial border, or has a close operational relationship with an inter-provincial undertaking 〔see Peter W. Hogg, Constitutional Law of Canada, Looseleaf, 5th ed., Thomson Carswell, Scarborough, 2007, 22.4〕 The reference to "Telegraphs" has been held to include telephones〔''The Corporation of the City of Toronto v. Bell Telephone Company of Canada'' () A.C. 52〕 and radio broadcasting. In the latter case, radio broadcasting was held to have no provincial dimension, and was therefore exclusively a federal matter. That has since been extended to include television and cable television.〔''Capital Cities Communications v. CRTC'', () 2 S.C.R. 141〕 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「Section 92(10) of the Constitution Act, 1867」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
