Fortunately enough for all of us, our forefathers, in the British North America Act, set down the jurisdictions of the federal government and provincial government and allowed the province to delegate some authority to municipal governments. The situation you're suggesting, as I read it, is that we have to comply with municipal governments in matters related to international border crossings.
I mean no disrespect, but I've dealt with many municipal governments in the past, and some were made up of very intelligent people, and some were not. The reality is that we have a federal government that has specific jurisdiction over one of the most important things we have as a country, our international border crossings. Are we going to allow municipal governments to decide to have their laws override the federal government's laws?
I've seen many laws from municipal governments, which say, for instance, you can't have people sleeping on the streets. In fact, there's a law in the United States, in one particular town, which I'm sure everybody has heard of, that says you can't live together unless you're married. To suggest that a municipal government is going to be able to have a knee-jerk reaction and pass a law that's going to be supreme to federal government legislation in relation to international border crossings....
