Quasi-Constitutionality
Edit
The content is sourced from: https://handwiki.org/wiki/Social:Quasi-constitutionality

In Canada, the term quasi-constitutional is used for laws which remain paramount even when subsequent statutes, which contradict them, are enacted by the same legislature. This is the reverse of the normal practice, under which newer laws trump any contradictory provisions in any older statute.
