Former Prime Minister Jean Chretien referred the gay marriage bill to the country’s Supreme Court which heard opening arguments in the case on Oct. 6. On Dec. 9, the Supreme Court of Canada will release its decision on whether the bill is within federal jurisdiction, whether same-sex marriage is consistent with the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, whether the charter protects the clergy from having to perform marriages against their religious beliefs, and whether the common law definition of marriage between one man and one woman violates the Charter. Prime Minister Paul Martin angered gay activists when a fourth question was added under his watch, according to the Canadian Press, which also reported that Canadians are nearly split on the same-sex marriage issue.

Mail This Article RSS Feed Print-friendly version Advertisement Currently, marriage between persons of the same gender are recognized in five of Canada’s ten provinces and in one of its two territories. Advocates from both sides of the issue said Tuesday that the judges will most likely rule in favor of same-sex “marriages,” reported Reuters. "We certainly feel like underdogs in this issue," said Janet Epp-Buckingham of the Evangelical Fellowship of Canada. "We are concerned that there may not be balance across the court at this time." Evangelical Fellowship of Canada said Tuesday that it believes the Parliament should decide on the issue instead of the Supreme Court. The Christian group fears legalizing same-sex “marriages” would infringe on a church’s right to reject sanctifying something it is opposed to.

Quebec (Attorney General) In short, snipping from the syllabus: The evidence shows that, in the case of certain surgical procedures, the delays that are the necessary result of waiting lists increase the patient’s risk of mortality or the risk that his or her injuries will become irreparable. The evidence also shows that many patients on non‑urgent waiting lists are in pain and cannot fully enjoy any real quality of life. The right to life and to personal inviolability is therefore affected by the waiting times. The infringement of the rights protected by s. 1 [ Every human being has a right to life, and to personal security, inviolability and freedom. ] is not justified under s. 9.1 of the Quebec Charter . The general objective of the HOIA and the HEIA is to promote health care of the highest possible quality for all Quebeckers regardless of their ability to pay.

PHOSITA ::: an intellectual property weblawg Main May 21, 2004 CANADIAN SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS MONSANTO INFRINGEMENT ACTION ON GENETICALLY MODIFIED CANOLA SEED The Canadian Supreme Court awarded Monsanto a resounding victory May 21, 2004 in a ruling upholding Monsanto's Canadian patent on genes for genetically altered canola seed. The gene at the centre of the litigation was introduced into canola to produce a canola plant, known as Roundup Ready, that is resistant to the common Monsanto produced weed-control herbicide known as Roundup. The altered canola plant's progeny or offspring are also resistant to Roundup. The Canadian patent infringement action began in 1997, when Monsanto discovered genetically engineered canola plants growing on Percy Schmeiser's farm. Mr. Schmeiser contended that since a plant is a higher life form and cannot be patented, he had done nothing wrong. Monsanto did not patent the genetically modified plant itself, but rather the genes and the modified cells it contained. According to the Canadian Supreme Court's decision (found here "The appellants actively cultivated Roundup Ready Canola as part of their business operations," a majority led by Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin and Mr. Justice Morris Fish concluded. "In light of all of the relevant considerations, the appellants used the patented genes and cells, and infringement is established.

Percy Schmeiser Canadian Supreme Court Tramples Farmers' Rights: Affirms Corporate Monopoly On Higher Life Forms ETC Group News Release 21may04 More on: Monsanto Percy Schmeiser Civil society and farmers' organizations worldwide reacted with outrage to today's 5-4 decision by the Canadian Supreme Court, affirming Monsanto's right to prosecute farmers who are found to have GM crops growing on their land—whether they wanted them or not. Gene Giant Monsanto accused Saskatchewan farmers Percy and Louise Schmeiser of violating the company's patent on genetically modified canola (oilseed rape). Percy and Louise did not want Monsanto's GM canola seeds that invaded their property, and they did not try to benefit from the herbicide-tolerant trait in the GM seed (that is, they didn't spray Roundup weedkiller), but still Monsanto prosecuted them for patent infringement and demanded a portion of their income. The Schmeisers waged a courageous, 7-year battle against Monsanto that went all the way to the Supreme Court. "The good news is that the Schmeisers don't have to pay a penny to Monsanto [reversing the lower courts' ruling], but the decision has grave implications for farmers and society everywhere the Gene Giants do business," said Pat Mooney, Executive Director of ETC Group, one of the interveners in the case. Monsanto's GM seed technology accounted for over 90% of the global area planted in GM seeds last year.

Home archives Articles Canadian Supreme Court Strengthens Divorce Agreements EquityFeminism.Com Guests Logon Account Signup Canadian Supreme Court Strengthens Divorce Agreements By Brian Carnell Sunday, May 4, 2003 In a 7-2 ruling the Canadian Supreme Court reversed several lower court rulings in saying that divorce agreements should be respected unless truly unforeseen circumstances occur that require revisiting them. The case before the Court involved Linda Miglin who succeeded in having lower courts revise a divorce agreement she had reached with her husband in 1994. The Miglins owned a successful lodge in which they had capital of about $250,000. The divorce agreement called for Eric Miglin to pay his wife $60,000/year in child support, employ her for 5 years at $15,000/year as a consultant for the lodge, and swap her interest in the lodge for the family home (which was worth roughly $250,000). Eric Miglin fulfilled his obligations under the divorce agreement, but years later, apparently having difficulty finding a job, Linda Miglin asked a court to grant her $4,400 a month in spousal support even though the divorce agreement between the couple specifically ruled out any future spousal support. Linda Miglin argued that she didn't realize what she was signing away with the divorce agreement, a contention that the Supreme Court didn't lend credence given that both parties were represented by lawyers whose job it was to defend their interests.

Lego said the court's decision suggests the dispute is one of a small group of "exceptional cases involving issues of national importance," the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported. Lego Canada and Lego holding company Kirkbi AG took Canadian toymaker Mega Blok to trial in 1996, claiming the look of Mega Blok's products infringed on Lego's trademark. They wanted an injunction and damages from Mega Blok. Lego believes it has a trademark on the look of the bumps on its blocks, although the patent expired in 1978. The company is "committed to protecting its intellectual property rights and to safeguarding the public from imitations which tend to cause confusion with consumers," general counsel Poul Hartvig Nielsen said.

Return to Home Page NEWS US Equality Forum salutes Canadian Supreme court December 10, 2004 This case arises out of the same-sex marriage on Jan. 14, 2001, of Joe Varnell and Kevin Boursassa in Toronto, Ontario. On June 10, 2003, the Ontario Court of Appeals held that it was a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms to deny marriage for same-sex couples. The Canadian Ministry of Justice with Martin Cauchon as Minister of Justice did not take an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Jean Chretien, then Canadian Prime Minister supported same-sex marriage. Since the decision, all but four of Canada's ten provinces including Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia provide same-sex marriage. "We salute this opinion by the Supreme Court of Canada. It should finalize any further delay to same-sex marriage in Canada," stated Malcolm Lazin, executive director, Equality Forum. "Kevin Bourassa and Joe Varnell as the first same-sex marriage in North America propelled marriage equality in the United States as well. Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms enshrines individual liberty and protects minority rights. It is ironic that the descendants of the Monarchists that left Philadelphia in 1777 for Canada have outstripped the United States in providing equality for all its citizens."

Commercial Printing Canadian Supreme Court rules in favor of gay marriage Published Thursday, December 9, 2004 TORONTO (AP) - In a landmark opinion, Canada’s Supreme Court said today the government can redefine marriage to include same-sex couples. However, the court added that religious officials cannot be forced to perform unions against their beliefs, and the legislation to allow gay marriage must still pass with a majority of the House of Commons. Canada would join Belgium and the Netherlands in allowing gay marriage if the government rules that it is legal nationwide. The court’s decision brings to the final stages a long, bitter fight over whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to marry in Canada. Public opinion is evenly divided on the matter, and advocates for both sides are preparing for the final phase of the battle. Judges in six provinces and one territory have already overturned the traditional definition, allowing thousands of same-sex weddings.
