The appellant brought a motion to prohibit the intervener from presenting arguments on the federal peace, order and good government (POGG) power.
The intervener sought to argue that the impugned provincial legislation fell under POGG, an issue not raised by the respondent or included in the constitutional questions framed by the Chief Justice.
The Supreme Court of Canada granted the motion, holding that an intervener is not entitled to widen or add to the points in issue, and cannot introduce a new constitutional issue that would circumvent the notice requirements for Attorneys General.
