This is a proposal that the CBA intervene in the upcoming SCC appeal in Attorney General of Canada v Power.
Copies of the lower court decisions and of Canada’s memorandum of leave argument are attached.
The SCC granted leave to appeal on March 2, 2023. Canada’s factum is due by May 29, 2023. If the CBA wishes to apply to intervene, its application would be due by June 26, 2023 at the latest. In order to have time to prepare the application, counsel would need to know whether the CBA wishes to intervene two weeks after Canada files its factum.
