Stephen Harper In a non-binding opinion released Thursday morning, the court reaffirmed religious freedoms under the Charter, saying religious officials opposed to same-sex marriages do not have to perform them. It declined to answer a fourth question added by Paul Martin when he became prime minister: whether the current definition of marriage as a man and a woman was unconstitutional. But the court said that by failing to appeal a number of lower court rulings that said excluding gays from marriage was discriminatory, the federal government had already accepted that position.

In a 4-3 decision, the panel of seven justices said banning private insurance for a list of services ranging from MRI tests to cataract surgery was unconstitutional under the Quebec Charter of Rights, given that the public system has failed to guarantee patients access to those services in a timely way. As a result of delays in receiving tests and surgeries, patients have suffered and even died in some cases, justices Beverley McLachlin, Jack Major, Michel Bastarache and Marie Deschamps found for the majority.

SC Hears Case Schmeiser Case Heard Before Canada s supreme court Lawyers for agribusinesstitan Monsanto Co. drew pointed questions from the Canada supreme court on http://www.percyschmeiser.com/SC Hears Case.htm
Extractions: (01-20) 15:04 PST OTTAWA (AP) Lawyers for agribusiness titan Monsanto Co. drew pointed questions from the Canada Supreme Court on Tuesday in a dispute with a Saskatchewan canola grower that has become a cause for biotechnology opponents and proponents around the globe. The court could takes months to rule on the dispute, which began in 1997 when Monsanto discovered its canola plant, genetically engineered to withstand the company's popular weed killer, growing on Percy Schmeiser's farm. The suit alleges Schmeiser obtained Monsanto seeds without paying for them. Schmeiser contends the company's canola accidentally took root on his farm, possibly falling from a passing truck or arriving with a gust from a neighboring farm. Two lower courts found in Monsanto's favor and ordered Schmeiser to pay the company about $140,000 in damages and legal costs. Some farmers, especially those from developing nations, fear that natural or accidental contamination of their conventional crops with biotech varieties will give biotech companies licenses to seize their crops.

Extractions: Today's Globe Opinion Magazine Education ... World June 10, 2005 TORONTO Canada's Supreme Court dealt a powerful blow to the state monopoly on health care yesterday, striking down a Quebec ban on private health insurance for services provided under the country's system of universal coverage. Although the unanimous ruling applies only to Quebec, it is expected to spur similar cases in other Canadian provinces and accelerate a growing movement pushing for more private care. In recent years, Canada's Medicare was plagued by long waiting lists and a lack of doctors, nurses, and state-of-the-art equipment. Some patients wait months for surgery, MRI machines are scarce, and many Canadians travel to the United States for treatment. But government leaders defend the current system, and Medicare supporters voiced fears the ruling will bring a two-tiered system favoring those with money. Proponents of change say it will improve care by offering more choices and cut waiting times for treatment. The Supreme Court said Quebec's prohibition violated the province's charter of rights by threatening the lives of patients, and the justices noted other countries have successfully combined private and public care.

Extractions: Backgrounder Reference to the Supreme Court of Canada On June 10, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled that the opposite-sex requirement for marriage is unconstitutional and directed that marriage in the province of Ontario be open to same-sex couples. The Court stated that its decision does not in any way deal or interfere with the religious institution of marriage. The Court ordered its decision to take effect immediately. The Ontario decision follows on a similar decision of the British Columbia Court of Appeal on May 1 of this year. Although the British Columbia decision originally gave Parliament until July 12, 2004, to change its legislation to fit this new definition, it lifted that suspension order on July 8, effectively allowing same-sex couples to marry in that province immediately. Another similar decision of the Quebec Superior Court allowed same-sex marriages effective September 2004. The Quebec case is still before the Quebec Court of Appeal. On June 17, 2003, the Prime Minister announced that the Government of Canada would not appeal the decisions of the courts of appeal in British Columbia and Ontario on the definition of marriage. On July 15, 2003, the Government of Canada also withdrew its appeal from the Quebec case.
