[edit] No longer a stub

I fleshed out this article and removed the stub designator. My source for all the changes I made was the text of the SCC decision. In particular I tried to clarify that the Quebec Veto Reference was entirely about the existence of a constitutional convention, as opposed to a legal question. To put it another way, even if the opinion in this case had gone the other way, and the SCC had agreed with the Quebec Attorney General regarding a Quebec Veto, it wouldn't have affected the legal status of the Constitution Act, 1982. In essence, the case raised an issue about the "legitimacy" of the Canada Act 1982, not its "legality". When I have some time I will revise the article on the Patriation Reference. --Mathew5000 02:18, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
