Sunday law: Now it may be illegal TORONTO (CP) The Ontario government's bill to limit Sunday retail operations was approved by a select committee Tuesday with several amendments, including one that the solicitor-general said casts some doubts on the legislation's constitutionality.

The doubtful amendment, proposed by the New Democratic Party members of the committee, changed an amendment proposed by Solicitor-General John MacBeth, the bill's sponsor. MacBeth proposed a change to allow some leeway for merchants whose religious sabbaths are Saturday. His measure would have excluded from the bill small stores that have been closed for 32 hours preceding Sunday. They would have to close from 4 p.m. on Friday.

The traditional Jewish sabbath is observed from sundown Friday. However, the NDP amend- ment inserted the words "for religious reasons" as a condi-j tion of closing. Mr. MacBeth said he feels the words might form the 1 basis for a challenge of the measure on a constitutional basis. He said religious matters traditionally have come under the Jurisdiction of the federal government, a tradition upheld by the Supreme Court of Cicada.
