Yes. See when governments legalized the right to strike and unionize.

In Canada, a constitutional right to strike was provided by legal precedent in 1987, and then confirmed by the Supreme Court in 2015.

Canada is a land of ice, it is not Iceland.

And that’s about a Supreme Court ruling, not an individual decree made by the PM.

It's based on the living tree doctrine, which was included in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by the PM who created that, initially, by declaration.
