Biography​

Professor Poirier (BCL’91, LLB’91) joined McGill University in 2015 as the inaugural holder of the Peter MacKell Chair in Federalism.
Previously, Professor Poirier was a faculty member of the Université libre de Bruxelles (ULB), where, between 2004 and 2015, she taught various courses on comparative law, federalism and European regionalism both at the Faculty of Law and the Institute of European Studies. From 2008 to 2012, she also co-directed the ULB’s Center for Public Law.
At McGill’s Faculty of Law, she teaches Constitutional Law and Comparative Federalism. In 2017, she co-taught a seminar in constitutional drafting and reform, “Modernizing” the Canadian Constitution. In addition, since 2016, she organizes the Baxter Family Competition on Federalism, a biyearly writing competition for students and young practitioners. She received the John W. Durnford Teaching Excellence Award twice, in 2019 and 2022.
Johanne Poirier has been an invited professor at the faculties of law of the universities of Ottawa, Montreal, and Butare (Rwanda), as well as at the Centro de Estudios Políticos y Constitucionales of Madrid and the Winter School on Federalism of Eurac Research and the University of Innsbruck . She has participated in a number of expert missions on constitutional design in Spain, Belgium, Tunisia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Sudan, South Sudan, and Nepal. She was a board member of the Forum of Federations from 2007 to 2016.
Prior to her academic career, she served as a law clerk for the Hon. Charles Gonthier of the Supreme Court of Canada. She also worked as a lawyer specialized in constitutional and administrative litigation for the Department of Justice of Canada and as legal counsel on matters of constitutional law for the governments of Canada and Québec.​

Areas of interest​

Most of Professor Poirier’s publications explore various aspects of federalism, the protection of minorities (notably linguistic ones), and, more broadly, public law. It is in the field of intergovernmental relations and cooperative federalism that her contributions are the most significant and original. Her multidisciplinary methodological approaches combine legal technicality, institutionalism, socio-political contextualization, and legal theory (including normative pluralism) through a comparative lens, even in the study of Canadian constitutional law. She currently works on a major research project on intergovernmental relations and cooperative federalism.
Professor Poirier is particularly interested in supervising graduate students wishing to explore various aspects of federalism, the institutional mechanisms for the accommodation of diversity, and comparative constitutional law, more generally.​

Huna akili, IGA haijamuibua, wewe ndie umelazimisha kumuibua halafu unatuwekea CV yake pekee.
Sijui kama unachoonyesha kinaonyesha una akili- kwa ujumla huna akili. Ili kuthibitisha kuwa huna akili nawailika wenye akili wasome nukuu hii kutoka kwenye hukumu ya kesi yenu (ukurasa wa 48 na 49


This contention is based on what obtains from literatures by eminent scholars one of whom is Johanner Poirier in his article titled: The Functions of Intergovernmental Agreement: Post Devolution Concordats in a Comparative Perspectives July, 2021 (retrieved from https://www.ucl.ac.uk/constitution-unit/sites/constitution-unit/files/75.pdf). At page 7, the learned author opined as follows:
"Intergovernmental agreements represent one of the most formal mechanisms of co- operation in the tooi-box of intergovernmental relations. These agreements are "ubiquitous" instruments of policy-making in federations, whether these systems are described as cooperative, competitive, executive, or even 'confrontational'."

SOMA TENA uk 50 & 51
The 'ritual' of ratification of intergovernmental agreements is increasingly becoming prominent across jurisdictions. The article by Johanner Poirier (supra) testifies to this position, in the following words:
"Canadian intergovernmental agreements are negotiated, as their name suggests, by the Executives. They have traditionally given rise to very little public or parliamentary debate or scrutiny, although there is a certain degree of evolution in that respect. Agreements are generally not endorsed by legislative assemblies, and until recently they were not published. The same is essentially true of Australia 'because intercantonal Swiss concordats must - in theory - be communicated to the federal legislative Assembly, they are generally more accessible. Some agreements are also subject to referendums. In Belgium, some types of legally- binding agreement reguire legislative approval, while others do not. In the first case they are systematically published, while in the latter, publication is more haphazard. The role of legislatures is significant, especially in terms of democratic control and accountability, but it does not necessarily have an impact on the legal status of the agreements nor on the functions they play.
From the quoted excerpt, we discern that intergovernmental agreements are entered by the executive branch of the government, and that what makes them binding is completion of the ratification process.
An argument has been raised by the petitioners that ports, special economic zones, logistic parks and trade corridors have been listed as potential areas for takeover by DPW. The impression here is that, to the extent that the same have been clearly stated, then these are areas which are being given to DPW without anything in return i.e. consideration. With
