Perspectives on the harmonization of law in Canada / Ronald C.C. Cuming, research coordinator.: Z1-1983/1-41-55E-PDF

"Any study of "harmonization of legislation" must address initially the question of scope. It might be argued that it is not particularly useful to confine the inquiry to legislation in the form of legislative acts of the parliament of Canada and the legislatures of the provinces, since legislation is nothing more than a vehicle for the implementation of social or economic policies that legislators desire for their jurisdictions. Further, legislation is only a part of the picture. Policies that can be disruptive to the political and economic integration of Canada need not always be embodied in legislation. For example, some economists claim that procurement policies of provincial or municipal governments can be a significant barrier to the free movement of economic factors throughout the country. Yet, rarely are these policies embodied in legislation."--p. [1].
