AG(ON) vs. Reciprocal

I tried to read the battlecard but do not clearly understand.

  1. What parliament? Of Canada or ON?
  2. What did they amend? I do not understand the sentence
  3. What was the ruling? Was amending intra-vire or not?

    1. Parliament of Canada
    2. Amended the criminal code and implemented a new federal insurance act
    3. Ultra-vires. Privy council decided that the amendments to the criminal code were invalid. It was seen as an attempt to to regulate the contracts of insurance which was not within federal jurisdiction

    I recommend reading page A2-5 of the McDonald Paper if you would like to dive deeper
