The Crown will always appeal a major ruling of the Court of Appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. It's a convention that it does this.Point taken. However, what happens if the crown loses and chooses not to appeal? In that case, would the the provisions still be in force in other provinces? How about the provision of purchasing? Will this have any effect either way? How likely is it that the purchasing provision will be declared unconstitutional also? Please take your time to respond as you read the decisions in other cases etc for an informed reply. Unfortunately, I am not well versed in. law, and how it pertains to C-36 so I’m at a bit of a loss as to what it means for enforcement in Ontario and especially other provinces. Hence, all the questions. Thanks!
A ruling of the ON CA does not directly affect other provinces, but it certainly allows people in other provinces to raise the same arguments before their own courts.
So far, none of these cases affects purchasing, but the same reasoning applies and the government will be forced to re-legislate the entire area.
