Problem 1: Although executive (and legislative) power is divided in Canada, there are certain areas-for example, corporate law, trade and criminal law-in which the federal and provincial governments cooperate in implementing overlapping laws, either because of jurisdictional overlap or because of the availability of federal funding. In paying particular attention to international and environment law, discuss how such law is implemented at the national and provincial level and the role of the courts in resolving jurisdictional overlap disputes that may arise.
