    Intergovernmental Relations‘ Third Wheel: The Role of the Supreme Court in an Era of Collaborative Federalism
    in Federalism-E , volume 10, April ,  2009 ,  1-16
    The Supreme Court of Canada has an absolutely undeniable role in intergovernmental relations. As the country‘s only constitutionally entrenched body charged with the resolution of division-of-powers disputes, its decisions and rulings are always certain to influence the way in which governments interact with each other. Recently, however, the Supreme Court has come to be less highly regarded as a method of resolving the disputes that arise between governments. As Robinson and Simeon propose in their article ―The Dynamics of Canadian Federalism -,Canada is moving from an era of constitutional federalism, governed by the courts, to one of collaborative federalism (Robinson and Simeon, 2004: 106).
