Canadians have come to accept
that the Supreme Court of Canada's interpretation of the Charter of Rights and
Freedoms reigns supreme. In Not Quite Supreme, Dennis Baker challenges this
assumption and outlines a framework for an alternative judicial model in which
Parliament's interpretations of the Charter share equal legitimacy and authority
with the Court. Baker argues that coordinate interpretation - a model which
requires both elected and appointed officials to interpret the Charter - allows
for the creation of a more robust democracy, alleviating some of the tension
between constitutionalism and democracy while limiting judicial activism.
Drawing on literature from Montesquieu to recent court
decisions, Not Quite Supreme gives an extensive critique of both Canadian and
American judicial models and explores the tensions between the separation of
powers in both countries. Not Quite Supreme is a fresh and substantial
contribution to the debate, advancing a new argument in support of a more
diverse tradition of legal decision making in Canada that makes the constitution,
rather than individual decisions of the Court, its cornerstone.
