Canada’s Supreme Court on Monday upheld federal authority to initiate constitutional reforms without provincial approval, a ruling that clashes with a custom of provincial consent. The court split 7-2 on federal authority, 6-3 on the existence of a convention requiring provincial assent. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau touted the decision as a path to a Canada own constitution while Justice Minister Jean Chretien said Ottawa would seek British Parliament action to revise the document.
