R. v. Eastern Terminal Elevator Co.

R. v. Eastern Terminal Elevator Co.

"R. v. Eastern Terminal Elevator Company", [1925] S.C.R. 434 is an early constitutional decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on the Constitution's Trade and Commerce power. The Court held that the marketing of Saskatchewan grain, even though it was all destined for export(some of the grain stored on the site was for local markets), was in the jurisdiction of the province under section 92(13) of the British North America Act, 1867. The decision, though largely out of place in modern constitutional jurisprudence, represents a high point of the Supreme Court's adoption of the Privy Council's view of an exceptionally narrow interpretation of the federal government's Trade and Commerce power under section 91(2).

Following the decision the federal government overrode the provincial jurisdiction by declaring it to be a federal "work and undertaking" under section 92(10)(c) of the Constitution Act, 1867.
