The legal framework for groundwater allocation in Quebec: towards integrated water management

This paper aims at providing a model of the legal framework for groundwater allocation in the province of Quebec (Canada), identifying its potential deficiencies and suggesting possible improvements. In Quebec, groundwater is a res communis. The right to use it is tied to real estate property. This right forms the basis of the legal framework for the management of groundwater quantity. However, according to statutory law, the actual use of groundwater also depends on governmental authorisations that limit quantities used. The main statutory instrument for managing the resource is the Groundwater Catchment Regulation (GWCR), which aims at conflict prevention between first users and new users by means of governmental authorisations. In agricultural areas, an additional authorisation regime indirectly prioritises agricultural groundwater uses. Finally, legal mechanisms addressing conflicts between water users rely on the general litigation framework provided by Quebec law without establishing an order of priority for the different uses of the resource. According to Integrated Water Resources Management, four aspects of the legal framework for groundwater quantity management can be modified to increase the efficiency of the allocation regime: 1) provisions should be made to preserve a residual environmental flow; 2) an order of priority should be established between the different uses to minimise conflict; 3) the scope of the regime should be extended to all groundwater users to increase its efficiency; 4) stakeholders should participate in the management of the resource

Les Paradoxes de la langue chez Roch Carrier et Michel Tremblay

Dans les oeuvres de Carrier et de Tremblay, la construction littéraire de l'identité nationale passe par le biais de la langue, que ce soit celle des personnages ou de la narration. Une étude systématique montre que les niveaux linguistiques (phonétique, lexical, syntaxique, sémantique) sont différemment exploités par les auteurs et que le recours à la dimension conversationnelle est aussi révélatrice d'un ancrage sociolinguistique. Le sentiment d'appartenance se trouve indissociablement lié, cependant, au degré d'intégration de la composante linguistique à la structure de l'oeuvre.The question of national identity is confronted in the writings of Carrier and Tremblay through the discriminate use of language, both in the characters' dialogue and in the narration. Not only are the distinct linguistic levels (phonetic, lexical, syntactic, semantic) differently exploited by the two authors; the negotiation that is transacted in dialogue also appears significant. While the treatment of linguistic diversity takes markedly different forms in Carrier and in Tremblay, the degree to which the linguistic element is integrated into the structure differs as well

Another Look at Lawyer Discretion to Assist Clients in Unlawful Conduct: A Response to Professor Tremblay

Professor Paul Tremblay’s At Your Service: Lawyer Discretion to Assist Clients in Unlawful Conduct, identifies and explores an apparent gap in the law governing the work of lawyers: the question of whether lawyers may assist clients in unlawful conduct that is not criminal or fraudulent. After introducing the issue through three illustrative scenarios, which he labels “lawbreaking stories,” Professor Tremblay engages in an extensive analysis of the applicable substantive law, relying primarily on ethics codes, which directly regulate the work of lawyers, with additional reference to other sources of law. Having reached the considered conclusion that the law does not prohibit lawyers from assisting clients in unlawful or wrongful—but not criminal or fraudulent—conduct, Professor Tremblay moves to the next stage of his analysis, examining the further question as to the nature and scope of the lawyer’s ethical discretion to assist—or to refuse to assist—a client in unlawful or wrongful conduct. Building on Professor Tremblay’s analysis, this response aims to briefly evaluate the central question he raises—the lawyer’s discretion to assist a client’s unlawful conduct—by reframing the issue through the prism of a three-tiered, or three-pronged, framework. In so doing, this response suggests that, to the extent Professor Tremblay has identified cases in which ethics codes and other sources of law do not directly or definitively mandate a particular mode of action on the part of lawyers, an assessment of the issue may require a close look at three complementary—but, at times, competing or conflicting—duties underlying ethics codes: the duty to serve the best interests of the client, the duty to promote justice within the American legal system, and the duty to the lawyer’s own sense of ethical morality

Le compositeur Gilles Tremblay : un artiste croyant et engagé

Le compositeur Gilles Tremblay a publié de nombreux textes sur sa démarche créatrice, son esthétique et sa quête spirituelle. Au-delà de ces écrits, nous avons questionné les fondements de cette orientation à travers des documents archivistiques inédits. Sa correspondance avec le Père Paul Vanier, s.j., François Houang, oratorien, et l’essayiste Pierre Vadeboncoeur, révèle sa foi profonde et son engagement citoyen, piliers sur lesquels reposent sa pensée et son œuvre.The composer Gilles Tremblay published several texts on his creative reasoning, his aesthetics and his spiritual quest. in addition to these publications, analysis of unpublished archival material reveals the basis for this orientation. His correspondence with Father Paul Vanier, s.j., François Houang, Oratorian and the essayist Pierre Vadeboncoeur demonstrates both his profound faith and social commitment, the two cornerstones of his thought and works

Chronotope et sociogramme de la vocation : l’écrivain porte-parole dans Un Joualonais sa Jaoulaoniede Marie-Claire Blais

La vocation est une valeur structurelle du roman de Marie-Claire Blais, Un Joualonais sa Joualonie. Elle en est le principe générateur, le vecteur en fonction duquel chaque personnage se définit. Le chronotope et le sociogramme sont deux concepts qui insistent sur la mise en rapport de niveaux textuels apparemment antithétiques. Ils servent ici à identifier le noyau conflictuel déterminant l'ensemble des propositions idéologiques du texte, de même que l'idée-force qui, sur le plan spatio-temporel, propose une vision propre au roman de l'écrivain comme genre. Le tableau général montre l'échec d'une littérature surdéterminée par la demande de sens du " texte social ". Pour l'écrivain Papillon, l'impossibilité de devenir un artiste libre est directement liée à son élection comme porte-parole de la communauté nationale.Vocation is a structural value in Marie-Claire Blais's novel, Un Joualonais sa Joualonie. It is the generative principle, the vector according to which each character defines himself. The chronotope and the sociogram are two concepts which emphasize the relation between levels of the text which appear to be antithetical. Here they are used to identify the core conflict which determines the entire ideological structure of the text. The main idea which, from a spatial and temporal point of view, suggests a vision that is specific to the writer's novel as a literary genre. The general picture shows the failure of a literature overdetermined by the "social text"'s requirement of meaning. For the writer Papillon, the impossibility of becoming a free artist is directly linked to his election as a spokesperson for the national community
