Abstract

Professor Taylor begins his analysis of Canada's current constitutional crisis by discussing two long standing "existential" questions: why should Canada exist, and why should Quebec be part of Canada? The contradictory answers to these questions reflect contradictory understandings of the nature of rights, as reflected in the debate over the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Professor Taylor traces the roots of this debate in differing philosophical views of the nature of liberalism. He concludes by proposing a new kind of confederation in which these differing views could be accommodated.
