Abstract

(In French only). La cohabitation au Canada de deux grandes deux familles du droit, celle de la Common Law et celle du droit civil, g茅n猫re une r茅flexion concr猫te sur le bijuridisme qui inclut n茅cessairement un lien avec la langue et la culture. Cette r茅flexion a fr茅quemment 茅t茅 nourrie par la confrontation des r猫gles du droit f茅d茅ral avec celles du droit provincial de m锚me que celles du droit public avec celles du droit priv茅 provincial. La modification de la loi f茅d茅rale d鈥檌nterpr茅tation et les travaux d鈥檋armonisation qui l鈥檕nt accompagn茅e ont plac茅 ce sujet聽 脿 l鈥檃vant-sc猫ne du droit positif.

La r茅flexion sur le plurijuridisme, le pluralisme et聽 l鈥檌nterculturalisme se situe parall猫lement au processus d鈥檋armonisation des lois. Peu souvent associ茅s au droit positif, ces trois courants se situent pourtant en aval du bijuridisme et en sont peut-锚tre la suite naturelle dans le contexte d鈥檜ne soci茅t茅 qui vit la globalisation au quotidien. Loin d鈥櫭猼re d茅branch茅s de la r茅alit茅, le plurijuridisme, le pluralisme et聽 l鈥檌nterculturalisme portent le germe d鈥檜ne interpr茅tation des lois adapt茅e au contexte quotidien des rapports juridiques multilingues et multiculturels et rec猫lent probablement plusieurs r茅ponses utiles lorsqu鈥檌l devient n茅cessaire de r茅soudre des litiges.

La r茅flexion sur le bijuridisme ouvre la porte 脿 une possible int茅gration du pluralisme dans l鈥檕rdonnancement juridique canadien. Le transsyst茅misme dont se r茅clame certains programmes a-t-il une identit茅 propre ou n鈥檈st-il qu鈥檜ne 茅tape vers un certain interculturalisme? Le plurijuridisme v茅ritable est-il une utopie?
