Civil Liberties and Canadian Federalism

There is no one in Canada better qualified to write on this topic than Professor Scott, and few who could handle it with comparable brilliance and skill. He discusses the relationship between civil liberties and the Canadian constitution in the light of the steps now being taken to write a Bill of Rights into the law. But he takes a much wider point of view than that suggested by present political alternatives: he is primarily concerned with the growth of the constitution, and with our current interest in civil liberties and human rights as evidence of that growth.
