Much of the abuse and ensuing controversy over the constitutional reference was caused by its ambiguous relation to the federal government's disallowance power. On this see Jennifer Smith, “The Origins of Judicial Review in Canada,” this journal In both instances the source of the problem is the difficulty of making a hard and lasting distinction between “policy issues” and “legal issues.” For an explanation of how this dilemma led to the demise of the disallowance power, see Robert C.

notorious modern case—“The Chicken and Egg Reference”—the Manitoba government persuaded its own Court of Appeal to declare an Ontario Marketing policy unconstitutional. This case is analyzed by Paul Weiler, In the Last Resort: A Critical Study of the Supreme Court of Canada (Toronto: Methuen, 1974

had two basic provisions. The first was a consent requirement for husbands of married women and the parents of minors. The second was a requirement that women desiring an abortion must first be read a description of the probable age, physical characteristics, and abilities of the unborn child; a description of the abortion procedure and its medical risks; and a list of public and private agencies available to assist the woman to carry the child to term.

For a very instructive elaboration of the constitutional supremacy-judicial supremacy dilemma in US politics, see John Agresto

The Supreme Court and Constitutional Democracy (Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1984). Ironically, Agresto at times seems to be looking for something like the Canadian section 33, legislative override as a solution: To have subjected judicial ‘vetoes’ to the same process of review as that to which the Constitution subjects presidential vetoes would have been the most unobjectionable method of combining the benefit of active judicial reasoning and scrutiny with final democratic oversight” (134–35).
