This is the last doctrine for a while! Paramountcy dictates that in areas of concurrent jurisdiction (remember the double aspect doctrine?), if there is a conflict between statutes the federal government will have final say. In this podcast will we observe a drunk driver have his licence both suspended and restricted (confusing, no?) and lament the fate of Saskatchewan farmers, who are often unappreciated by bureaucrats in Ottawa. Multiple Access v McCutchoen is also back by popular request.

Ross v. Registrar of Motor Vehicles (1975)
Multiple Access Ltd. v. McCutcheon (1982)
Bank of Montreal v. Hall (1990)
