	Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Greater montreal protestant school board v. Quebec (Attorney general)
		The power which the school commissioners and trustees had in 1867 to "regulate the course of study" to be followed in denominational schools has been entrenched only in so far as this limited regulatory power is necessary to give effect to denominational guarantees.
		This, in turn, requires a review of the powers, privileges and duties of separate schools in Ontario in 1867 to see whether they are greater than the powers, privileges and duties dissentient Protestants and Roman Catholics had with respect to their schools in Quebec in 1867.
		The exclusive provincial power set forth in the opening words of the section is deserving of a liberal interpretation, but the limitation on that power, as an exception to a general rule, in their view, is not.

		The Powers have an implicit understanding that if one of them should act too directly, others will act in concert to oppose the meddler, for if all acted in such a manner, Oerth would be destroyed by the Powers.
		Greater Powers tend to have less involvement than Lesser Powers, because Greater Powers are more absorbed in the affairs of many worlds and transcendent events that are far beyond the affairs of mortals.
		A lesser Power may serve greater ones as a messenger or aide, may be a cast-out or solitary Power, or may hold sway over a very narrow sphere of concern.

	Legislative Electronic Publications -- City of Winnipeg Charter Introduced In Legislature
		The city would be given broader powers and authorities; the legislation would be condensed to half its present size and plain language would be used, where possible.
		Also, as currently written, the City’s powers are spread throughout the Act in numerous and sometimes isolated and unrelated sections, making it difficult for it, and for its citizens, to know if the City is properly exercising its powers.
		In recognizing the City as an accountable level of government, together with granting the City greater municipal autonomy, the Council assumes a greater responsibility to its electors, and must ensure citizens are informed about and have a role in local government.

		The recommendation is couched in very broad terms; the phrase ‘in the care of a public authority or of a person or body exercising functions of a public nature’ leaves open to interpretation the exact places to which the Commission will have access.
		The Government believes that there should be clarity about the scope of this power and is giving consideration as to how best to define in legislation the places, or types of place, to which the Commission will have access.
		This is an important power and the legislation will need to include provisions to ensure that the Commission uses it appropriately.

		The review of the Greater London Authority’s powers is ‘vital’ if the capital is to meet the challenges it faces over the coming decade, according to the Association of London Government.
		The document proposes giving the London Assembly a greater role in policy formulation and scrutiny as a counterweight to a mayor with wider powers, and also suggests boosting the role of the boroughs in relation to local leadership.
		It says that new powers given to the mayor would primarily come from central government, although in a limited number of areas, such as planning, they may be transferred from local authorities.

	The Scotsman - Opinion - Case for greater fiscal powers at Holyrood (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		One of the central planks of the Labour case will be that fiscal autonomy, or the granting of more powers to Holyrood to ensure that what it chooses to spend is related more closely to what it raises from taxpayers, is highly dangerous.
		And what tax powers have been devolved - notably the variable standard rate of income tax - have been shunned by Holyrood despite the poor growth in the Scottish private-sector economy and the implosion in high-tech manufacturing, agriculture, fishing and tourism.
		It is high time some Scottish politicians were brave enough to risk using one power the Parliament does have - an income-tax cut to stop the steady drain of skilled population from the country, for example.

		In the context of such extraordinary powers, it is exceedingly difficult to mount a serious argument that ASIO requires greater powers.

		To allay suspicions that the plan is a disguised attempt by two of Europe's most nationalist states to emasculate the EU's "federalist" institutions, Mr Blair and Mr Aznar have also proposed beefing up the European Commission, Parliament and Court of Justice.
		The commission would gain the power to initiate EU rules and laws for the first time in justice and home affairs, covering areas such as immigration and cross-border crime and bringing the European Parliament a step closer to becoming a fully fledged law-making body in all the main policy areas.
		But he is a master at putting the best complexion on a bad case and it looks as if he is now going to declare victory by saying these plans were British ideas in the first place.
