ON REDISTRIBUTION *
i
The Constitutional Point Ably Discussed
DAVIES AND MR.
MILLS
SIR LOUIS
Quoted to Prove the Unconstitution-
ality of their own Bill.
In Senator Prowse’s speech published by Tue Examiner, the Government Redis~
tribution Bill as it would have effected
Prince Edward Island and Canada at large sas very clearly and fully exposed. Senator Ferguson dealt with tae various.
ints and also with the question of the
constitutionslity of the bill,—the question
upon which the bill was thrown out
We quote from the Senate Hansard what Senator Ferguson said about this question, as foliowe:
“*] take the ground that Parl ament has not a right to pass a measure of this kind except aftter the taking of the decennial census. I hold that we have not the constitutional right to do it. I fee: rather diftilent about discussing a question that is, ip many reepects,a legal one, very closely, but Twill take very great oare to support the opinions I give on this question by excellent authority—autbority which [am sure the Minister of Justice will not dis pute. My hon. friend, in introducing the mill the other day, took a loag time—I think about an nonr—in instructing the House on some of the elementary features of the British constitution. He began away back in the reign of Heary Third, and traced the growth of representative institutions in (be mother countrv up toa comparatively recent period. His speech embraced also a review of the old Ameri-~ can colon:e3 aud Canada before the date ot confederatio.; and, if I understood the object of this very long and tedious dis-~ quisition, if it had any bearing on the sub- j ct before the House, it was to prove that this Perliament hadan implied power to pass such a billas this independently of the Briti bh North America Act
Hon. Mr. Millsa—No.
Hon. Mr. Ferguson—My hon. friend shakes hie head. I understand if he has changed bis practice, he bas not changed bis opinions On this eubject at all events,
} and it will be my duty to place before the
bon. gentleman some views of his own ou that matter which I know he will receive with very great respect. In 1892 another hon. geuntleman,a prominent member of this government, Sir Louis Davies, made a statement in Parliament with regard to redistribution. He eaia :
‘Now, sir, it is said by some that there must he an inherent power in Parlisment to dothis. (That is to pass a Redistribu- tion Act) I deny it. This Parliament 18 the creation of an Imperial statute aad i bound by the limitations expressed in tne statule; itbas no power to legislate in defiance of, or bevond, or in cunsistent with avy of the limitations in that statate,’
That was the opinion expressed by Sir Louis Davies, in 1892. I now come to what my hon. friend the Minister of Juatice said on the same oecasion Page 3206 Han- sard of 1892.5 He saye:
‘What doesthe 40th section eay? It SBaVSs:
‘Until the Parliament of Canada other- wiee provides Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunewick shall have,” &e., &c.
Until the Parliament of Canada other- wise provides, provides how? In what way? Arbitarily? No, sir, provides in the way pointed out in section 51, It is authorized to provide in that way. It is not authorized to provide in any ether way ? Now there isno rule of covstitu- tional authority better settled than this that you cannot set up a simplied power against an expressed one” * * * *
That is the way (quoted the 51% section) which you are to exercise that power. There is the expres@ provisions. There are the directions given and this Parlia~ ment is required to actin cousonance with these directions and in conformity with this grant It had no right to go outside the grant.’
These are the werds ef ihe hon. gentle man himeelf, and I may venture an opin- ion surely when I am supported by ao gentleman of such great eminence asa constitutional lawyer as the bon, Minister of Justice. These are the views of the present government on that subject, and if my hon.friend did not mean, by the nature of the disquisition which he gave on the growth of representative institutions in Great Britain and the colonies up to the time of confederation, if he did not mean to found an argument in favor of Parlia- ment dealing in the way he proposes in this bill—that is, apert from the 5let section of the British North America Act, I fail to understand the meaning of hie words. Bat, according to. my hon. friend’s own language in 1892, ’aere is no power or provision for dealing with the redistribution except as provided for in section 51 of the Bri- tisb North America Act.
Hon. Mr. Mills—Hear hear!
Hon Mr. Ferguson—My hon. friend says “hear, hear,” and notwithstanding that, he brings in a bill in entire violation of section 51 of the British North America Act. There are four sections in the Bri» tish North America Act which deals with

4. Oo any such reaijustment the nuams ber of members fora province sha!] not be reduced unless the proportion which the number of population of the province bore to the number of the aggregate popu- lation of Canada at the then last preced- ing reidjustment of the number of mem-~ vers for the province is ascertained at the then last census, to bedeminished by one- twentieth part or upwards,
5 Such readjustment shall not take effect until the termination of the then ex- isting Parliament.
52. Tne vumber of members of the House of Commons may b2, from time to time, incressed by the Parliament of Canada, provided the proportionate res presentation of the provinces prescribed by this Act is not, thereby disturbed.
$i. It shall be iawful for the Queen, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate and House of Commons,to make laws for the order, peace and good govern
ment of Canads, infrelation to al] matters not coming within the classes of subjects by this Act assigned exclusively to the ‘egisiatures of the Provinces; and for greater certainty but notsoto restrict the gevernality of the ‘foregoiog terms of this section, it is bereby declared that (not
withstanding anythingin this Act) the exclusive leyislative authority of the Par- liameot of Canadaextends to al! matters coming within the clasees of satj-ct# next hereinafter enumerated ; that is to aay :

92. In each province the legislature may exclusively make laws in relation to matters coming within the classes of sub- jects next hereisafter enumers ed; that is LO say :
1. The amendment from time to time (ooiwithstanding auvthing io this Act) of the constitu ion of the province, except a- regards the cffize ot Lieutenant Govern: or.
While it i3 laid down ae the law with regard to provincial Jegiclatures, in the euntmeration of the powers of the Federa! Parliament tbere is no correspondiny pover mentioned. There is a genera! power conferred by section 91 to make laws for the peace, order and good gov- ernment of the country, which probably would be quite saffici«nt to give power to pass Redistribution Bills, unless expres+ provision was made in another section of
the British North America Act for the same purpose; but I think my hon. friend wiil be
very loath to contradict me when I sav that, if, a3 my hoo. friend admit'ed a few momeots ago, and as he eaid in 1892 sec- tion S| gaveexpress and complete powers with regard 10 making readjustments involving redistributions—if that is pro- vided io an express provieion, the general provisions like section 92 will not apply. My bon. friend may take another view, but I doabt very much whether he wil assume the responsibiuity of taking auy such position as that. Ofthese four sections, 91 a gives general power; 40
creates an undoubted power; 651 specifies the power created by sec- tion 40 and section 52 further speci-
fies the powers granted in section 40 Again, [am supporied by the Minister of

Drugs are expensive, Sometimes they are more expensive than need be.
And sometimes they are not so reliable ss they ought to be. There was atime when the prices of drugs vere away up—too high altogether.
That ts not the case now. The Apoth- ‘caries Hall chang+d that sume time ago.
You can get perscriptions from pure ‘rugs at the proper prices— no fancy profits
You can get all my reliatle especial remedies; they’ve been tried and fuund :Tective. .
The price — the main tning —will be found right in every case.
