Au cours de l’histoire, différentes raisons ont été avancées pour appuyer et justifier la «règle de l’inhabilité du conjoint à témoigner», dont certaines ne tiennent plus depuis que le droit moderne a reconnu les conjoints comme des entités distinctes. Deux de ces justifications subsistent néanmoins aujourd’hui. [...] La première justification de cette règle est qu’elle favorise les confidences entre époux et protège l’harmonie conjugale.

Rather than foster full recognition of both English and French in Canadian society, the actions of the Department of Justice would result in diminished opportunities for their use. The breach of obligations under section 41 must also be seen in light of the principle of official language equality under section 16 of the Charter, as well as the recognition that governments in Canada should advance by way of legislative action the equality of status or use of French and English. The principle of equality of our official languages must have substantive effects in order to ensure its full implementation. This imposes a constitutional obligation on the federal government to take the initiative in creating a necessary institutional support to the use of either official language. This obligation is ignored by action that reduces the scope of language rights as they apply to the legal process under federal jurisdiction. 1, record 7, English, - by%20way%20of%20legislative%20action

Plutôt que de favoriser la pleine reconnaissance de l'anglais et du français au sein de la société canadienne, les mesures prises par le ministère de la Justice résulteraient en un usage moins répandu des deux langues. Le manquement aux obligations prévues à l'article 41 doit également être examiné à la lumière du principe de l'égalité des langues officielles énoncé à l'article 16 de la Charte, ainsi que du principe reconnu selon lequel les ordres de gouvernement au Canada devraient promouvoir, par voie législative, l'égalité du statut ou de l'emploi du français et de l'anglais. Le principe de l'égalité de nos langues officielles doit avoir des effets réels afin qu'il puisse être pleinement mis en œuvre. Le gouvernement fédéral est ainsi tenu par la Constitution de prendre l'initiative pour créer le soutien institutionnel nécessaire à l'emploi de l'une ou l'autre des langues officielles. Les mesures qui restreignent la portée des droits linguistiques lors des procédures de compétence fédérale ne tiennent pas compte d'une telle obligation. 1, record 7, French, - par%20voie%20l%C3%A9gislative

Pour les autres professions réglementées, la Commission des Communautés européennes a adopté deux directives [...] instituant un système général de reconnaissance des diplômes. Celles-ci permettent à toute personne pleinement qualifiée d'obtenir la reconnaissance de ses qualifications professionnelles acquises dans son pays d'origine, aux fins d'exercer la profession réglementée dans un autre État membre. Ces deux directives n'établissent pas un régime de reconnaissance automatique des diplômes, le migrant pouvant être soumis à des "mesures compensatoires" en cas de différences substantielles constatées entre la formation qu'il a reçue et celle requise afin de pouvoir exercer dans le pays d'accueil.

Par suite de la reconnaissance du besoin d'assurer une orientation fonctionnelle générale aux mandataires, un programme national des mandataires a été mis sur pied en 1996. Pour répondre aux demandes raisonnables visant l'obtention de services juridiques efficaces, efficients et économiques, le but ultime du Programme est de fournir au Ministère un cadre qui lui permet de renforcer sa capacité d'administrer et de gérer les activités juridiques des mandataires de manière à assurer la prestation de services juridiques de qualité et à endiguer les coûts connexes. 1, record 12, French, - Programme%20national%20des%20mandataires

The sources of international law. There is innate in man a consciousness of right and wrong, regulating his behaviour towards his fellows, the recognition of the requirement to "co-exist" with them on a reasonable footing. Human society, on the other hand, cannot function without a certain number of binding rules of conduct which must be such as to enable it to avoid bellum omnium contra omnes. These factors are the underlying causes of the birth of law in any human community. The accent may be laid on one or other of these fundamental elements, but the two are always present. These are the "sources" of the law in their philosophical, psychological, sociological connotation, the "material" sources.... The concrete ways and means, the "formal" sources of the law, differ from community to community : they are not the same in secular as in ecclesiastical communities, nor in national as in international society. These "formal" sources,... necessarily reflect the nature and structure of the community concerned : they appear as custom, legislation, bye-laws, national case law, papal bulls, treaties, resolutions of international bodies, etc., as the case may be. There is still a third sense in which the expression "sources" is used in respect of law; in this sense the metaphor does not refer to the basic or to the "formal" origins of legal rules, but to the documents and writings in which they can be found, just as in another field historians work with their "sources". These are not, of course, genuine sources of the law. 2, record 15, English, - sources%20of%20international%20law
