From the Paper:

" It is difficult for any wording to be utterly exhaustive and unambiguous, and therefore a measure of interpretation is often inevitable when courts seek to apply statutes to specific cases. In an attempt to ensure that such interpretation is done correctly, rules and principles are provided for statutory interpretation in Canadian law. This essay will provide a brief overview of the rules and principles provided, and then discuss their strengths and limitations with reference to the case of Rizzo & Rizzo Shoes Ltd."
