Supreme Court OK's same-sex marriage Last Updated Fri, 10 Dec 2004 13:30:57 EST CBC News OTTAWA - The Supreme Court of Canada says the federal government can change the definition of marriage, giving gays and lesbians the legal right to marry. The Supreme Court decision 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.

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.

Monsanto vs Schmeiser The Classic David vs Goliath Struggle..... Schmeiser Case Heard Before Canada's Supreme Court P AUL ELIAS, AP Biotechnology Writer (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.

In fact, the Supreme Court has refused to hear any further arguments on the case. Last year, the Federal Court of Canada overturned legislation that imposed high levies on the sale of MP3 players, originally meant as a way to reimburse music composers, singers, and artists against illegal file trading. Ironically, the CPCC still collects levies on blank CD media, but as

109. Court Ruling Expected To Change Canada's Health Care System - The Boston Globe - TORONTO Canada s supreme court dealt a powerful blow to the state monopoly onhealth care yesterday, striking down a Quebec ban on private health http://www.boston.com/news/world/articles/2005/06/10/court_ruling_expected_to_ch

Today's Globe Opinion Magazine Education ... World Court ruling expected to change Canada's health care system 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.

110. Reference To The Supreme Court Of Canada Media release on the reference testing the constitutionality of proposed Federalsamesex marriage legislation. http://canada.justice.gc.ca/en/news/nr/2003/doc_30946.html

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.

Decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on the Marriage Reference The Supreme Court of Canada rendered its decision on December 9, 2004, in the Marriage Reference.  The Court ruled: Section 1 of the Government’s proposed legislation extending civil marriage to same-sex couples is constitutional and that its very purpose flows from the Charter (para. 43); The Charter protects religious officials from being compelled to perform marriages between two persons of the same sex if it is contrary to their religious beliefs (paras. 59 and 60); Section 2 of the proposed legislation on the protection of religious freedom goes beyond federal jurisdiction into matters that are provincial jurisdiction.  Religious freedom is already protected by the Charter, but if additional protections are desired, they would have to be done by the Provinces and Territories (para. 37); The Court declined to answer the question on whether the opposite-sex requirement for marriage is constitutional, as they felt it was unnecessary, in light of the unique combination of factors at play (para. 71). Further details on the Court’s response to each of the questions follow.
