DESCRIPTION:The 51³Ô¹ÏÍøLaw Journal presents Me Sylvain Lussier\, former hea
 d prosecutor on the Charbonneau Commission\, who will deliver the 51³Ô¹ÏÍøL
 aw Journal Annual Lecture.  Abstract  The Canadian legal system is based o
 n the fundamental principle of the rule of law.The concept of the rule of 
 law is conceived as a constitutional principle exerting an effective const
 raint on government action regardless of the existence of a formal constit
 utional or enabling statutory provision.  The importance of the rule of la
 w is at the forefront of a number of Canadian decisions\, including the fa
 mous Roncarelli v. Duplessis\, where the Supreme Court of Canada recognize
 d that a member of the government could be held personally liable for cert
 ain acts performed in the exercise of his or her functions.  It is in this
  context that the theme of 'Equality of all under the law' is deemed to be
  so important. It entails that any political community adhering to the ide
 al of a state of law question and examines the respective roles of the leg
 islator\, the executive and the courts.  About the speaker  Maître Sylvain
  Lussier is a partner of the firm Osler\, Hoskin and Harcourt in Montreal 
 where he primarily practices in commercial litigation\, administrative law
  and constitutional law. He acted as Prosecutor for the Government of the
