Document Summary

Peace, order, and good government of canada (pogg): the preamble to section 91 of the constitution act, 1867 includes this phrase which has been interpreted by some as a general grant of legislative power to the federal government. Over time, however, court rulings reduced pogg to an emergency power that can only provide the constitutional basis for federal actions in special circumstances. In a 1977 decision, the supreme court indicated that it would not be quick to question parliament"s judgment that special circumstances, warranting legislation under the authority of pogg, exist. Sovereignty-association: a term generally understood to mean that a politically sovereign (independent) quebec would continue to be linked to canada through some sort of commercial union, free trade agreement, and shared currency. Sovereignty-association was the option proposed to quebecers in the 1980 referendum. Intrastate federalism: the representation and accommodation of regional interests within national political institutions such as the senate. In canada, federalism has operated mainly through intergovernmental relations.
