IS
CANADIAN
CONSTITUTION
OUTWORN?
Only
a
few
days
ago
the
Minimum
Wage
Act
was
practically
declared
unconstitutional.
Other
British
Columbia
bills
too
numerous
to
mention
have
suffered
a
similar
fate.
Dealing
with
this
question
the
Winnipeg
Free
Press
in
an
editorial
article
says:
,
"Common
sense
dictates
that
a
nation
that
bases
itself
on
democracy
must
have
a
workable
constitution.
This
is
one
of
the
fundamentals
of
a
people
who
hope
to
develop
and
expand
in
unity
and
harmony.
Canadians
are
such
a
people.
"Articles
have
recently
appeared
on
this
page
which
make
it
quite
clear
that
the
present
Canadian
constitution,
which
centres
in
the
British
North
America
Act,
is
not
working
smoothly.
Drawn
up
over
sixty
years
ago
to
provide
for
a
new
state
in
which
the
authority
of
government
was
to
be
divided
between
a
federal
government
and
a
number
of
provincial
governments,
the
British
North
'
America
Act
in
many
of
its
phases
is
now
out
of
date.j
New
conditions
have
arisen,
largely
on
account
of
man's
,
new
mastery
over
the
forces
of
nature,
that
are
making'
Canada's
written
constitution
obsolete
or
unworkable,
in

many
oi
its
most,
important
aspects,
j.
ne
result
is
mat
ap-
peals
are
continually
being
made
to
the
courts
in
an
effort
to
find
out
what
was
in
the
minds
of
the
Fathers
of
Confederation
when
they
framed
the
act
that
created
the
Canadian
Confederation
sixty
years
ago.
In
many
cases
it
has
been
shown
that
it
is
impossible
to
ascertain
what
the
framers
of
the
act
had
in
mind,
because
they
had
no
cognizance
of
conditions
that
have
come
into
being.
The
Fathers
of
Confederation
had
no
conception
of
water-power
as
applied
today
in
terms
of
electrical
energy,
they
knew
nothing
about
'aviation,
they
had
nothing
to
guide
them
as
to
the
development
of
modern
business,
of
the
magnitude
of
the
grain
trade
that
was
to
be
developed
in
Canada,
of
a
score
of
other
important
phases
of
national
and
commercial
life
that
exist
today,
but
which
were
hardly
dreamed
of
in
1867.
In
view
of
these
facts
it
is
not
at
all
surprising
that
the
British
North
America
Act
is
working,
today
in
a
manner
that
is
leading
from
one
complication
to
another.
"The
main
trouble
emerges
from
the
lack
of
definite
authority
as
to
the
jurisdiction
and
powers
of
the
federal
government
as
compared
yfyh
those
of
the
provincial
governments.
It
has
been
necessary
to
go
to
the
courts
to
find
out
who
owns
the
water-powers
on
navigable
livers,
it
has
been
necessary
to
go
to
the
courts
to
find
out
who
controls
the
air,
it
has
been
necessary
to
go
to
the
courts
to
find
out
if
British
Columbia
kfas
a
right
to
pare
an
act
about
the
marketing
of
fruit,
it
has
been
necessary
to
go
to
the
courts
to
find
out
whether
the
provinces
have
any
control
over
companies
incorporated
by
Dominion
charter,
it
has
been
necessary
to
go
to
tbe
courts
to.find
out
where
the
authority
rests
with
respect
to
the
grain
trade,
the
insurance
field,
the
question
of
taxation,
and
a
score
of
other
matters.
New
problems
growing
out
of
the
conflict
of
authority
between
the
Dominion
and
the
provinces
are
emerging
almost
every
week.
Millions
of
dollars
have
been
spent
in
legal
fees
in
attempts
to
get
at
the
meaning
of
the
British
North
America
Act.
The
majority
of
these
cases
have
had
nothing
to
do
with
race,
religion
or
minority
rights.
They
have
had
to
do
with
the
business
and
commerce
of
the
country.
The
millions
of
dollars
spent
in
litigation
over
the
British
North
America
Act
have
come
out
of
the
pockets
of
the
Canadian
people.
They
have
to
foot
the
bills.
Signs
are
appearing
in
the
offing
that
the
day
may
be
approaching
when
the
people
will
demand
a
Canadian
constitution
that
will
work
at
less
cost
than
the
present
one.
The
approach
of
this
day
will
be
hastened
when
the
people
realize
that
the
idea
that
the
constitution
is
sacred
and
inviolate
is
mere
fetish.
Constitutions
are
supposed
to
exist
for
the
benefit
and
welfare
of
a
people
and
not
for
their
enthralment."
