I ask not because it’s a “Got You” question, but because I’m way out of my element on this one, but I’m curious….as it seems like the above agreement/carbon cap&trade relationship isn’t federal but with jurisdictions a step below the state of nationhood….Except maybe Quebec, which is a “nation within a nation” or some other….something…lip service to placation or what have you?
But it’s trade between a province and other entities on a non-national level. It’s outside my limited knowledge base, but was curious to hear someone else explain how that would work, if trade deals were only on a national level.
Parliament's “general” trade and commerce power is both broad and narrow. It is broad because, in theory, Parliament can enact legislation that applies to all trade sectors across the country, such as with regard to competition, consumer protection and trademarks. It is narrow because Parliament must exercise its jurisdiction over trade in accordance with specific terms and conditions so that the provinces maintain their exclusive legislative authority over property and civil rights under section 92(13) of the Constitution Act, 1867.

It was either worked out under the authority of the Federal government, or it's a non-binding agreement. Americans are free to talk to anybody they want, but the "foreign affairs" power belongs exclusively to the President. Only the President (under some circumstances with the advice and consent of the Senate) can bind the U.S. or any part thereof.Where would the Quebec/California carbon trade market deal fall into this statement?
