Obviously, it's very fact dependent.
Professor John Whyte, former dean of Queen's University, formerly with the University of Saskatchewan, is one of our most eminent constitutional theorists. He has said that some conversations with the Attorney General in the Canadian system are, of course, legitimate. However he says, “The legitimacy of the conversation pretty much stops once you get past ‘explain to me,’ or ‘I'm going to tell you what I think, but I'm not telling you what to do.’...It's tricky, right, because people try to stay on the right side of their bosses.”
Would you agree with that formulation?
