Product description
The First and Only Comprehensive Study on Crown-Aboriginal Treaty Law
This highly anticipated text is a follow-up to Aboriginal law expert Timothy McCabe's 2008 book, The Honour of the Crown and its Fiduciary Duties to Aboriginal Peoples. In writing this comprehensive volume, Mr. McCabe brings close to 25 years of experience as counsel for matters relating to Aboriginal law in Ontario, including numerous appearances in appeals and constitutional interventions in the Supreme Court of Canada. Mr. McCabe's study provides authoritative and comprehensive information and insight into the law concerning the treaties between the Aboriginal peoples and the Crown in Canada. This book:
- Studies the nature and characteristics of Crown-Aboriginal treaties and the significance of these treaties in Canadian history and law
- Gives an overview of Canadian law on treaties before and after the enactment of the Constitution Act, 1982
- Looks at the relationship between treaties and Canadian federalism
- Considers the key concept of the honour of the Crown and its relation to the treaties
- Looks at the dramatic change in the legal landscape effected by section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982
- Frames the definition and scope of treaty rights, detailing ten aspects of the matter
- Examines the problems of proof of treaty rights
- Covers the regulation (and extinguishment) of treaty rights in light of section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982
- Sets out several principles of interpretation of treaties identified by the Supreme Court of Canada
