Daniels v Canada (Indian Affairs and Northern Development)

[4] The defendants were Her Majesty the Queen, as represented by the Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development, and the Attorney General of Canada.[15] The Supreme Court of Canada heard a subsequent appeal on 8 October 2015[16] and restored the trial judge's ruling on 14 April 2016.In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court restored the trial judge's declaration on the first issue, as it settled a "live controversy.""[17] It did so because: The fact that federal jurisdiction exists in the matter does not necessarily invalidate any provincial legislation, as the Supreme Court had held in Canadian Western Bank v Alberta that it "favour[s], where possible, the ordinary operation of statutes enacted by both levels of government.[22] It might also be viewed as an incentive for Indians to move off-reserve, in order to earn higher incomes and thus encourage a brain drain that could undermine the economic viability of the reserves.
