SUMMARY:Autonomy\, Subsidiarity and Solidarity: The Foundations of Cooperative Federalism
DESCRIPTION:CONSTITUTIONAL ROUNDTABLE \npresents \nHugo Cyr\, Université du Québec à Montréal \nTuesday\, January 13\, 2015 \nSolarium (room FA2)\, Falconer Hall \n84 Queen’s Park \nWhat does the constitutional principle of federalism entail? Instead of a detailed set of specific rules\, the principle of federalism relies on a series of principles that distinguish federations from other political forms. I propose that three such principles stand out from within our constitutional instruments and jurisprudence: autonomy\, subsidiarity and federal solidarity. The combination of these three interrelated constitutional principles forms the normative structure that gives Canadian federalism its internal logic. And it is my contention that this internal logic is one of cooperative federalism. It is these principles that must guide the judiciary when it fulfills its special duty as “guardian of the Constitution”\, and as such\, as guardian of the principle of federalism. \nHugo Cyr\, LL.B.\, B.C.L. (McGill)\, LL.M. (Yale)\, LL.D. (Université de Montréal). Full Professor\, Director of Graduate Studies in Law\, Faculty of Political Science and Law\, Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM)\, is a member of the Quebec Bar and the Centre de recherche interdisciplinaire sur la diversité au Québec (CRIDAQ).
