In this episode, Léonid Sirota, Senior Lecturer at the Auckland University of Technology Law School, discusses his work on Canadian constitutional law. He begins by describing the sources of Canadian constitutional law, when they were adopted, and which institutions have interpreted them. He explains that the prevailing view of Canadian constitutional law rejects originalist methods of interpretation in favor of a form of living constitutionalism. But he observes that this position is overstates, as the Canadian Supreme Court actually engages in a form of originalist interpretation on a regular basis. He argues that the Court should acknowledge its use of originalist methodologies and that they may promote the rule of law.
