Until last August, it was widely assumed that the Dominion's power to disallow provincial Acts was fast becoming obsolete. No disallowance had taken place since 1924; and the minister of justice, the Right Honourable Ernest Lapointe, speaking in the House of Commons on March 30, 1937, had said : "For many years the power of disallowance has not been resorted to by the government of Canada…. I do not think that in a federation such as this the power of disallowance could be exercised by the central government." On the question of reservation of provincial bills, there was no official pronouncement; but as there had been no case of reservation since 1920, the same dictum would doubtless have been considered to apply to that power also. On August 17, 1937, the Dominion government disallowed three Alberta Acts, and two months later the lieutenant-governor of Alberta reserved three bills for the signification of the governor-general's pleasure. The discussion which arose out of these events has been more remarkable for heat than light. It seems pertinent, therefore, to try to set down clearly the constitutional law and practice governing these two powers, and incidentally the lieutenant-governor's power to refuse the royal assent outright.
