Document Summary
Final exam: hypothetical fact scenario, probably on multiple rights. No terms!: section 15 equality: probably caused the most controversy of all of them. This is where the judicial activists start acting up. Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to equal protection before and under the law without discrimination based on age, race, religion, ethnicity, mental or physical disability. 15(2) provide for those affirmative action programs if the governments decide they want to undertake: who can claim benefit, individual every individual has the right. From previous discussions it means nay one physically present in canada whether a citizen or non-citizen and any canadian outside the country can claim it through the government. Can argue a law in question discriminates an individual, because it does so, it is unconstitutional so it doesn"t apply to us (corporation) either.
