What is the test for determining whether a federal or federal statute can be interpreted equally?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wakelam v. Johnson & Johnson, 2011 BCSC 1765 (CanLII):
Whether it applies equally where the authorizing legislation is also federal, as the defendants assert, is not free from doubt. But even if it does, it is clear that where the statutes can be interpreted so as not to interfere with each other, that interpretation is to be preferred: Garland v. Consumers' Gas Co., 2004 SCC 25, [2004] 1 S.C.R. 629 at para. 76.
