Vetoes

Regional Vetoes

Note: there are details in the Constitutional Amendments Act, called An Act respecting constitutional amendments.
“The federal government enacted legislation in 1996 that effectively places a new amending process on top of the “7 & 50″ formula of s.38 of the Constitution Act, 1982, with a statutory requirement that the federal government can only introduce constitutional amendments that have broad regional support. In effect, this has created a system of regional vetoes to amendments under s.38.

There are serious issues with the desirability and constitutionality of the regional veto formula.” (Nelson)
