« Le droit électoral concerne le vote mais aussi, plus largement, l’ensemble des règles qui régissent le choix de représentants des citoyens au sein d’institutions politiques. Plus fondamentalement, le droit électoral touche la qualité de la démocratie. Lorsqu’il faillit à sa mission, par exemple en matière de financement ou d’intégrité du résultat du vote, c’est tout l’édifice démocratique qui est fragilisé. Malgré son importance, le sujet n’a jusqu’à maintenant fait l’objet d’aucun ouvrage de référence au Québec. Le livre Droit électoral québécois -- Repères et enjeux contemporains vise à répondre à ce besoin, principalement dans le langage du droit, mais aussi en puisant aux autres disciplines qui peuvent en enrichir l’étude, dont la science politique et l’histoire. Pierre Vallée propose ici une synthèse et un regard nouveau sur l’histoire du droit électoral québécois, sur ses acteurs ainsi que sur ses principes et thèmes fondamentaux, dont la représentation électorale, l’administration des scrutins, le financement et les dépenses politiques, les mécanismes de contrôle, les dispositions pénales, la protection des renseignements personnels des électeurs de même que les campagnes numériques. Bien qu’il ait beaucoup en commun avec les autres démocraties représentatives, la singularité du régime électoral québécois est mise en relief, ainsi que les débats qui l’animent, dans ce panorama qui intéressera à la fois les juristes et les chercheurs d’autres disciplines ayant les élections pour objet d’étude. »-- Quatrième de couverture

Constitutional Law of Canada has been the classic text in its field for decades, and the one to which scholars, practitioners and students turn for authoritative guidance on the complex issues and concepts which comprise Canadian constitutional law. Wade K. Wright assumed authorship of the text in 2021, stepping into the shoes of the late Peter W. Hogg, the founding author. The 2023 Student Edition is an abridged version of the two-volume looseleaf 5th Edition, which is revised annually by the author. The Student Edition contains 35 of the 60 chapters from the loose-leaf that are most likely to be useful to students. For ease of reference, the title of each of the omitted chapters is listed in the Preface to this edition. The Student Edition includes the Index found in the loose-leaf edition. The 2023 Student Edition is current to December 2022." --Page 4 of cover.

"Written by two of Canada’s leading constitutional scholars, the seventh edition of The Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides a uniquely accessible yet thorough and objective account of the Canadian Charter. This new edition includes, for the first time, a chapter examining Aboriginal and Treaty rights. The authors examine the manner in which Canadian courts have come to terms with the constitutional protection of rights, focusing on the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada. The purpose is to explain Charter and Aboriginal rights, their interpretation by the courts, and their practical application. This edition also highlights a number of important cases in recent Canadian law. For example, Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique refused to accept that controlling the cost of minority-language education, which is a Charter right, would justify limiting that right under section 1. The decision also refused to extend qualified immunities from Charter damage awa rds to government policy decisions. The Frank decision, which struck down the disenfranchisement of Canadian citizens living abroad, and an important new remedies case, Ontario (Attorney General) v G, which will affect suspended declarations of invalidity and applicable exemptions, are both given a detailed and comprehensive analysis. The authors also discuss recent developments in the section 2(b) right to freedom of religion, including both the Ktunaxa Nation decision rejecting an Indigenous group’s claim that a development project would infringe on their right to freedom of religion, and the Trinity Western decisions dealing with a religiously motivated covenant that discriminated against prospective LGBTQ2S+ law students; developments in freedom of expression, including election spending and journalists being required to reveal their sources; the important role played by the Charter in the criminal process, including the Boudreault decision, which extends the protection against c ruel and unusual punishment; and developments in the area of equality rights, including decisions on pay equity and the Fraser case, which deals with pension benefits for women."-- Provided by publisher.
