"Leading scholars provide a comprehensive and deeply informed overview of Canada's Constitution - its history, its content, its gaps and infelicities, and its potential future. Readers can dip into the book to gain a foothold into deeper investigations, or sample several chapters to see the Canadian Constitution in the large. This is an essential resource for people anywhere in the world interested in Canada's constitution, or constitutionalism in general." - Mark Tushnet, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law, Harvard University Law School

"This Handbook offers fascinating insight in history, theory, and doctrine across the field of Canadian constitutional law. The organization of chapters is contemporary, reflecting current Canadian constitutional priorities and concerns. The list of authors is a who's who of scholars of Canadian constitutionalism. An insiders' view of a constitutional system, of this kind, is an invaluable resource for comparative constitutional law." - Cheryl Saunders, Laureate Professor Emeritus, The University of Melbourne Law School, Australia

"This landmark publication is a hugely important research resource, edited by three of Canada's leading constitutionalists. It draws together a seminal and exhaustive collection of papers covering multiple aspects of Canadian constitutional history and recent developments. It provides scholars of Canadian and comparative constitutional law with a truly comprehensive and authoritative compendium that illuminates Canada's constitutional tradition in all its diversity." - Stephen Tierney, Professor of Constitutional Theory, School of Law, University of Edinburgh

"This addition to the Oxford Handbook series offers illuminating insights into the history and reach of Canada's Constitution. The Canadian Constitution has been compared to a living tree. This book describes that tree. It takes us from the Constitution's roots in Indigenous, French and English law, and explores its growth over the past 150 years to what it is now - a vast and solid tree strong of trunk and lush of branches. The essays in this book tell the story of Canada's constitutional tree, and of the people who have nourished and shaped it. It is a compelling story that will inform and interest jurists and constitutional historians in Canada and abroad." - The Rt Hon Beverly McLachlin, Chief Justice of Canada
