Hello All,

 

Several of my university's students are trying to cite check a document that
utilizes mostly Canadian resources, and we are running into trouble with
some documents. I am hoping to obtain some help from those who are familiar
with Canadian resources, particularly those familiar with documents from
Quebec.

 

1. SOQUIJ, autorite parentale, 39 R.D.F. 70, 70 (1995).

 

It appears that someone tried to Americanize this citation. Unfortunately,
I am unfamiliar with Canadian legal citation. I did try to do a search in
Westlaw and Lexis. I struck out in Lexis, but did come up with a document
in Westlaw with a search for [1995] R.D.F. 39. A document was returned with
the following citation information:

 

1995 CarswellQue 1961

Droit de la Famille -- 2118

Cour supérieure du Québec

Juge Benoit Morin

Judgment: 4 janvier 1995

Docket: C.S. Kamouraska (Rivière-du-Loup) 250-04-000137-946

 

I have no idea whether this is the correct document or not (I do not read
French). If it is, could someone please confirm this. If it is not, any
help in locating the document (or an English translation) would be greatly
appreciated.

 

 

2. Ministere de la Santé et des Services Sociaux, La Protection des Enfants
au Québec: une responsabilité á mieux partager- Rapport du Comité d'experts
sur la revision de la loi sur la protection de la jeunesse,
http://msssa4.msss.gouv.qc.ca/fr/document/publication.nsf/fb143c75e0c27b6985
2566aa0064b01c/8397edfc04a8a8c985256e470050c6e3?OpenDocument.

 

I tried to translate the information page with Babel Fish for this document
to determine if there was an English translation. The information page did
not indicate one, but I thought that since I was asking for help with the
first citation, I would also ask if anyone knows if there is an English
translation of the above document as well.

 

Thank you for any and all help!

 

Jenny Greig
