Technology Transfer: Fighting Climate Change And Pursuing Equity Through The Transfer Of Energy Efficient And Renewable Energy Technologies, Craig M. Scott

The Greening Of Environmental Law, D. Paul Emond
The Greening Of Environmental Law, D. Paul Emond
Articles & Book Chapters
Environmental law in Canada has moved through three distinct stages. The first, beginning with the passage of the early environmental protection statutes, is described as symbolic regulation. "Regulation," because these laws did purport to regulate activities that had deleterious effects on the natural environment, and "symbolic" because the level and degree of regulation was largely symbolic. By the mid '70s and early '80s these laws had given way to two complementary developments. The first involved the introduction of environmental assessment (or audit) statutes and procedures; the second involved a strengthening and expanding of the traditional regulatory tools. The clear thrust …
The Demise And Rise Of The Classical Paradigm In Canadian Federalism: Promoting Autonomy For The Provinces And The First Nations, Bruce Ryder
Articles & Book Chapters
The author explores the possibility of employing Canadian consitutional doctrine to develop a more flexible approach that would allow for greater provincial autonomy and First Nation self-government within the existing scheme of ss 91 and 92 jurisprudence. Canadian constitutional doctrine is first interpreted through the competing models of the classical and modem paradigms. The former emphasizes a sharp division of powers and has traditionally been used, the author argues, to invalidate legislation seen to interfere with the market economy. The modem paradigm, on the other hand, recognizes competing jurisdictions and has been used to uphold legislation focusing on morals. The …

Freedom Of Expression And Choice Of Language, Leslie Green
Freedom Of Expression And Choice Of Language, Leslie Green
Articles & Book Chapters
This paper argues that sound principles of freedom of expression protect an individual's choice of which language to speak. They do so, not to guarantee against mistranslation, but rather to ensure that speakers are able to reach their intended audiences and, more importantly, to allow for the expressive value of speaking a particular language as a symbol of ethnic or political identification. The example of Quebec's Charter of the French Language and the resulting litigation is considered in some detail.

Industry And Humanity Revisited: Everything Old Is New Again: Review Of Paul C. Weiler, Governing The Workplace, Eric Tucker
Articles & Book Chapters
The decline of American unionism is now a well-documented phenomenon. Its causes and consequences, however, remain the subject of intense debate. Regardless of one’s view of this development, it clearly poses a challenge to the traditional techniques for the legal regulation of the employment relationship, and especially for state-sponsored collective bargaining which has been the centerpiece of American labour policy since the enactment of the Wagner Act in 1935. It is this crisis in American labour and employment law which Paul C. Weiler seeks to address in his new book, “Governing the Workplace: The Future of Labor and Employment Law”. …
