 abstract = {Federalism also had a significant effect upon the legislative history of Canadian bankruptcy law.¹ TheBNA Actprovided the possibility that provinces might ameliorate the effects of federal repeal of theInsolvent Act of 1875by providing their own distribution scheme under their jurisdiction over property and civil rights. Similarly, provinces might enact legislation that prohibited preferences. If all the common law provinces could be convinced to enact such legislation, a federal bankruptcy law would no longer be required. The existence of a possible provincial solution provided the federal government with a strong reason not to push for the reform},
