The third stage involved specific studies of surviving provisions of the C.C.L.C (enacted in 1866) governing subjects that, after 1867, came within the exclusive jurisdiction of Parli
ament (for example, marriage, insolvency, admiralty law, the Crown and bills of exchange) and that had not been repealed or even amended by the
province because it lacked jurisdiction (14) Researchers identified 478 provisions of the 1866 C.C.L.C. that were likely to cause problems (15) They also found that 11
1 of these had been ...[+++]validly repealed, in whole or in part, by Parliament and 64 had been repealed by the provincial legislature.
La troisième étape comprenait des études particulières de dispositions législatives du C.c.B.-C (adopté en 1866) qui existent toujours, portent sur des questions de compétence exclusive du Parlement du Canada depuis 1867 (p. ex. le mariage, l’insolvabilité, le droit maritime, la Couronne et les lettres de change) et n’ont pu être abrogées ou même modifiées par le Québec, faute de la compétence nécessaire(14). Les chercheurs ont recensé 478 articles du C.c.B.-C. de 1866 susceptibles de poser problème(15).
