Claude Lemelin

FROM: F.E. Gibson

Following a discussion with Claude Lemelin yesterday, I have prepared the following revised version of subsection (5) of a draft section 101(A) as contained in the August 7th draft dealing with the the economic union:

Idem “(5) Subsection (2) does not render invalid a law of a legislature enacted in relation to the reduction of substantial economic disparities between regions wholly within a province that does not discriminate to a greater degree against persons resident or formerly resident outside the province or against goods, services or capital from outside the province than it does against persons resident or goods, services or capital from a region within the province.”

The revised draft is slightly narrower than the equivalent provision in the August 7th draft which is drawn from the Ontario draft.
