Quebec's new Bill 96 won't be easily dodged by Ottawa. Me Michael Bergman tells CTV News Montreal why in a new interview.

https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/bill-101-constitutional-curveball-puts-ottawa-on-the-spot-politically-experts-say-1.5427507

Bill 101 'constitutional curveball' puts Ottawa on the spot politically, experts say One update to Bill 101 puts federal lawmakers in a tight spot politically, experts say. They won't easily be able to dodge a request to change the Canadian constitution after saying for months they're worried about French.

In Quebec, the law of evidence provides for 5 different means of proof: testimony, admissions, writings, real evidence and presumptions.

How can one prove the existence of a fact by way of presumption?
