To ascertain whether the question facing the Council was one which the legislature intended it to decide, a pragmatic and functional interpretation of the enabling statute is required, one which considers the wording, purpose and underlying reasons of the legislation in creating the tribunal, as well as the tribunal’s expertise and the problem before it.
The Council noted the difference between their role during times of legal strike, which is to ensure “essential services” for the health and safety of the public, and their role during times of illegal collective action, which is the broader duty to protect all public services.
These provisions reveal the Council to be a specialized body eminently capable of ensuring both the balanced determination of the essential services to be rendered during a legal strike and the fashioning of fair and effective injunctive and reparative measures in cases of illegal actions arising from labour conflict.
Montreal is situated in the southwest of Quebec, approximately 200 kilometres (120 miles) southwest of QuebecCity, the provincial capital, and 150 kilometres (90 miles) east of Ottawa, the federal capital.
The city sits on the Island of Montreal at the confluence of the Saint Lawrence River and Ottawa River; the island divides the Saint Lawrence between the main channel and Rivire des Prairies.
The citycouncil is a democratically elected institution and is the primary decision-making authority in the city.
