Today, the Supreme Court unanimously upheld Canada’s prohibitions on profiting from, or inducing, the sale of another person’s sexual acts. Christian Legal Fellowship (CLF) was an intervener in the case, and welcomes today’s decision.

The timing and location of the Christian Legal Institute (CLI) from April 28 to May 3 in London, Ontario, was ideal.  As a third-year law student wrapping up my studies, stepping onto the serene grounds of the Ivey Spencer Leadership Centre felt like exhaling a breath that I hadn’t realized I had been holding.

Christian Legal Fellowship has been granted leave to intervene in O’Neill v. British Columbia (Minister of Health).

This year, the Christian Legal Institute (CLI) ran from April 29 to May 3 and featured many distinguished speakers including lawyers, legal scholars, and honourable justices.

CLF is thankful to report that Bill C-62 received royal assent yesterday. Many human rights advocates have urged Parliament to halt the expansion of assisted suicide to people whose sole underlying condition is mental illness. Without Bill C-62, the expansion would have automatically occurred on March 17 of this year. That date has now been pushed to March 17, 2027.

Aujourd’hui, la Cour d’appel du Québec a rendu sa décision dans la contestation constitutionnelle de la Loi 21 du Québec. La Cour a jugé que la loi est constitutionnelle, largement en raison de son invocation de la clause dérogatoire de la Charte. Ainsi, la Loi 21 continuera à s’appliquer au Québec.

The Quebec Court of Appeal has released its decision in the constitutional challenge to Quebec’s Bill 21. The court ruled that the law is constitutional, largely due to the Bill’s invocation of the notwithstanding clause
