Acknowledgements

First, we would like to thank our families for their love, support, and

understanding during the long process of writing this book. We also

owe a debt of gratitude to our work coeagues who provided us with

some great ideas and feedback, and to the Toronto Association of Law

Libraries and the Association of Parliamentary Libraries in Canada,

both of which gave us our rst opportunity to showcase our research.

Many thanks to our feow law librarians at the Canadian Association

of Law Libraries who supported our project by awarding us the Michael

Silverstein Prize for an early version of Chapter 1 that was published as

an article in the Canadian Parliamentary Review. ere were also some

individuals who guided and encouraged us while we were writing this

book: thanks to Anver Emon, from the University of Toronto Faculty of

Law, for aowing us to audit his Statutory Interpretation class at the

very beginning when we were just learning the ropes; to Rich Sage, Lor-

raine Luski, and Jeanee Bosschart, who were kind enough to read our

rst dra and oer gentle critiques and suggestions for improvement

that we happily took on board. And nay, we would like to thank our

bosses, Wendy Reynolds, Mary Saulig, and Vicki Whitme from the

Legislative Assembly of Ontario and its library, and Gian Medves and

John Papadopoulos from the Bora Laskin Law Library. ank you a.
