回复: 87.4对诉讼的影响 87.3对所有移民积案的影响
很多人不解如果87.4违宪了为什么能通过呢?这个疑问源自对立法和司法分家的不了解,一部法律无论是恶法,不合乎逻辑的还是别的神马玩意,在国会通过是没问题的。立法没通过之前,法庭没有任何权利对它指手画脚指出它的不合理之处。
Justice Barnes和Rennie异口同声这样说了:
"Courts come into the picture when legislation is enacted and not before..."
只有立法通过之后法庭才会出面干预。
所以,康尼凭什么以3月29这个日期为界限规定哪些人被切,还要规定这个日期后的法庭判决无效?他不凭什么!329无论多么荒唐,在通过之前法庭是无权出面阻挡的。
但是一旦它成为法律,只要有人控告,司法部门就要开始发挥作用了,它违不违宪,法庭上双方开始展开激辩,法官成为裁判。
6月14判决书有非常关键的一段:
[22] While both the applicants and the respondent sought to rely on the existence of this amendment currently before the House of Commons, it has not, and cannot, play any part in the disposition of these applications. Proposed legislated is simply that—an amendment proposed by the Government that is subject to debate and vote in Parliament. It may be withdrawn, it may be amended, or it may pass in its present form. For these reasons, as the Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) said in Re: Resolution to amend the Constitution [1981] 1 SCR 753 at page 785, “Courts come into the picture when legislation is enacted and not before…”. At a practical level, courts do not consider proposed legislation as it is premature and speculative. At a Constitutional level, the principle maintains a clear demarcation between the roles played by the legislature and the judiciary. The dialogue that occurs between the branches of government takes place in respect of actual legislation: Vriend v Alberta, [1998] 1 SCR 493.
这里面包含了非常重要的信息证明87.4(2)与常识有悖。
