Connor:  from a treatise from Osgoode hall and UofT
 "Embracing, governing and exercising authority 
are  necessary  constitutional  actions.  Understanding  the  Constitution’s  
fluid  state  of  being  is  also  necessary  in  regulating  governmental  prac-
tices.  In  pursuing  these  activities  the  Court  has  said  the  Constitution  is  
organic and animate; in fact, the Supreme Court has repeatedly written 
that Canada’s Constitution is a living tree."
