The Unwritten Principle of Constitutionalism in Canadian Jurisprudence:<\/strong><\/p>\n Does a (Meta-)principle Undergird Canada\u2019s Rule of Law, and is it Justiciable?<\/strong><\/p>\n A project co-presented by Maxime St-Hilaire (Facult\u00e9 de droit, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke), Ryan Alford, (Bora Laskin Faculty of Law, Lakehead University) and the Runnymede Society.<\/em><\/p>\n In the Quebec Secession Reference, <\/em>the Supreme Court of Canada discussed the constitutional principles of the Rule of Law <\/em>and Constitutionalism<\/em>, but without providing a clear means of differentiating these related, but distinct regulative ideals.\u00a0 As a matter of legal history, jurisprudence, and constitutional law, this requires further scholarly elaboration.\u00a0 While it is frequently assumed that any instantiation of the rule of law rests upon the premise that the Constitution is the source of all legal authority, comparatively little attention has been devoted to the meaning of constitutionalism, especially within the Canadian legal academy.<\/p>\n Insofar as the rule of law is considered by many legal theorists to be a contested concept, it is striking that it is commonly assumed that every possible iteration rests on the same (under-theorized) juridical construct.\u00a0 This is even more surprising given the broader range of distinctions that have been introduced within constitutionalism of late, notably via the elaboration and discussion of political constitutionalism, although this discussion occurred largely outside of legal discourse.\u00a0 (It bears mentioning that Canada\u2019s constitutional history may be a stumbling block to those who would posit that our own principle of constitutionalism was or can be founded upon the popular will or \u201cpouvoir constituant\u201d, insofar as this may introduce an anachronistic distortion of the political and legal traditions represented at Confederation \u2014whether those of the loyalists, moderate reformers, or members of the Parti bleu<\/em>.)<\/p>\n To foster greater discussion and understanding between political theorists, legal scholars, jurists, and historians, we are delighted to invite practitioners, judges, academics, and graduate students to submit papers on the topic of \u201cThe Unwritten Principle of Constitutionalism in Canadian Jurisprudence\u201d. The following specific suggestions are relevant to this discussion, but we invite submissions on all related topics, including:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Please submit abstracts (maximum 500 words) and title, as well as author affiliation, to Maxime St-Hilaire (maxime.st-hilaire@usherbrooke.ca<\/a>)<\/a>, Ryan Alford (ralford@lakeeheadu.ca<\/a>) and Kristopher Kinsinger (kkinsinger@staging.runnymedesociety.ca<\/a>) by 17 December 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scholars with accepted papers will be invited to participate at an in-person academic symposium in Toronto on 21 January 2022 and to subsequently contribute to a forthcoming special edition of the Supreme Court Law Review <\/em>and a related book, to be published by Lexis-Nexis Canada.<\/p>\n ____________________________________<\/p>\n Le principe sous-jacent du constitutionnalisme dans la jurisprudence canadienne : <\/strong><\/p>\n Un (m\u00e9ta-)principe sous-tend-il la primaut\u00e9 du droit au Canada et est-il justiciable?<\/strong><\/p>\n Un projet co-pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 par Maxime St-Hilaire (Facult\u00e9 de droit, Universit\u00e9 de Sherbrooke), Ryan Alford, (Facult\u00e9 de droit Bora Laskin, Universit\u00e9 Lakehead) et la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Runnymede.<\/em><\/p>\n Dans le Renvoi relatif \u00e0 la s\u00e9cession du Qu\u00e9bec<\/em>, la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada a discut\u00e9 des principes constitutionnels de la primaut\u00e9 du droit et du constitutionnalisme, sans toutefois fournir de moyens clairs permettant de diff\u00e9rencier ces id\u00e9aux r\u00e9glementaires connexes, mais distincts. En ce qui concerne l’histoire du droit, la jurisprudence et le droit constitutionnel, ceci n\u00e9cessite une \u00e9laboration plus approfondie. Bien que l’on pr\u00e9sume fr\u00e9quemment du fait que toute instanciation de la primaut\u00e9 du droit repose sur la pr\u00e9misse d\u2019une Constitution qui est la source de toute autorit\u00e9 juridique, relativement peu d’attention a \u00e9t\u00e9 consacr\u00e9e \u00e0 la signification du constitutionnalisme, en particulier au sein du milieu acad\u00e9mique.<\/p>\n Dans la mesure o\u00f9 la primaut\u00e9 du droit est consid\u00e9r\u00e9e par de nombreux th\u00e9oriciens comme un concept contest\u00e9, il est frappant de constater qu’il est commun\u00e9ment admis que chaque it\u00e9ration possible repose sur la m\u00eame construction juridique (sous-th\u00e9oris\u00e9e). Ceci est d’autant plus surprenant compte tenu de l’\u00e9ventail plus large de distinctions qui ont \u00e9t\u00e9 introduites dans le constitutionnalisme ces derniers temps, notamment via l’\u00e9laboration et la discussion du constitutionnalisme politique, bien que cette discussion ait eu lieu largement en dehors du discours juridique. (Il convient de mentionner que l’histoire constitutionnelle du Canada peut \u00eatre une pierre d’achoppement pour ceux qui postulent que notre propre principe de constitutionnalisme \u00e9tait ou peut \u00eatre fond\u00e9 sur la volont\u00e9 populaire ou le \u00ab pouvoir constituant \u00bb, dans la mesure o\u00f9 cela peut introduire une distorsion anachronique des traditions politiques et juridiques repr\u00e9sent\u00e9es dans la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration – qu’il s’agisse de celles des loyalistes, des r\u00e9formateurs mod\u00e9r\u00e9s ou des membres du Parti bleu).<\/p>\n Afin de favoriser une plus grande discussion et une meilleure compr\u00e9hension entre les th\u00e9oriciens politiques, acad\u00e9miciens, juristes et historiens, nous sommes ravis d’inviter des praticiens, des juges, des universitaires et des \u00e9tudiants dipl\u00f4m\u00e9s \u00e0 soumettre des articles sur le th\u00e8me \u00ab\u00a0Le principe sous-jacent du constitutionnalisme dans la jurisprudence canadienne\u00a0\u00bb.
