Morguard Investments Limited: Reforming Federalism From The Top, Peter Finkle, Simon Coakeley

The Genesis Of The Canadian Criminal Code Of 1892, Keith Jobson
Dalhousie Law Journal
Brown gives an interesting and readable account of the background of the 1892 Code and its genesis in the politics of the day. His preface and six short chapters are followed by an epilogue, a short biographical note and footnotes. Chapter One deals with the ambiguity of the term "code".

It was a "code" only in the loose sense in which.the word was used by English and Canadian …
