ontario v canada-quebec 1895
DESCRIPTION
John A. Boyd, as an arbitrator and Henry Strong as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada had both previously played decisive roles in creating case law in St. Catherines Milling in 1887. Boyd plays down the importance placed by Judicial Committee's Monk's judgments reasons in Connolly v. Woolrich (see page 37 highlighted in pink). Though Connolly v. Woolrich was not appealed beyond its confirmation in 1869, the Judicial Committee approved its judgment reasons here in The Province of Ontario v. The Dominion of Canada and the Province of Quebec; in Re Indian Claims, (1895), 25 S. C. R. 434 with its remarks that "those Indians, as nations, must not be looked upon as a big corporation or company; but must be looked upon as a nation, having a political economy in the country."TRANSCRIPT
