	ATTORNEY GENERAL of ONTARIO
		One of the Attorney General's responsibilities in fostering public respect for the rule of law, is to assist the public in understanding the nature and limits of the prosecutorial function.
		The Attorney General's authority, therefore, is not only to conduct litigation in cases directly affecting the government or its agencies but also to litigate cases where there is a clear matter of public interest or public rights at stake.
		A key component of the Attorney General's responsibilities to ensure the administration of justice in the province is the administration of the courts and as a result the responsibility for maintaining liaison with the judiciary.

	Canada, Hy and Zel's Inc. v. Ontario
		Attorney General of Ontario, required a plaintiff challenging a law of general application to establish that the legislation had a greater impact on the plaintiff than on the public at large and that the plaintiff had an interest affecting his or her personal, proprietary or pecuniary rights.
		The Attorney General, as a corollary, was assumed to act as the guardian of the public interest.
		Particularly in constitutional cases, background evidence of a general nature may be relevant to set the context of the issue quite apart from the position of the specific parties.

	Canada, Danson v. Ontario (Attorney General)
		Appellant, an Ontario lawyer, sought to have these Rules declared to be of no force and effect as being beyond provincial competence.
		The Attorney General of Ontario brought a motion to quash the application.
		The application, which seeks to attack the impugned rules on the basis of their alleged effects upon the legal profession in Ontario, should not be proceeded with because a Charter challenge based upon allegations of the unconstitutional effects of impugned legislation must be accompanied by admissible evidence of the alleged effects.

	Fraser v. Ontario (Attorney General)
		Ontario (Attorney General) (2001), 207 D.L.R. (4th) 193 (S.C.C.) ruled that the exclusion of agricultural workers from Ontario's LRA violated the right of these workers to freedom of association under s.
		The fact that Ontario is moving increasingly towards corporate farming and agribusiness does not, in my view, diminish the importance of protecting the unique characteristics of the family farm; on the contrary, it may even augment it.
		On this point, the Attorney General's expert himself concedes that "[t]he modern viable family farm no longer consists of 20 acres and a few cows, but typically represents a sophisticated business unit with a minimum capital value of $500,000 to $1,000,000, depending on the commodity and type of operation".

	Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Dunmore v. Ontario (Attorney General)
		In the case of agricultural workers in Ontario, the freedom to associate becomes meaningless in the absence of a duty of the State to take positive steps to ensure that this right is not a hollow one.
		Agricultural workers generally suffer from disadvantage and the effect of the distinction made by their exclusion from the LRA is to devalue and marginalize them within Canadian society.

	Ontario (Attorney General) v. Ontario Teachers' Federation
		On October 27, 1997, public school teachers in Ontario walked off the job to protest the Harris government's plans to radically alter the education system (the government's changes were set out in Bill 160, the so-called "Education Quality Improvement Act").
		The court refused to grant the injunction, holding that the application was "significantly premature" and that there was no evidence that anyone had suffered irreparable harm or that the protest was yet jeopardizing students' studies.
		That assertion should not be dismissed out of hand, especially in light of the observations quoted above by [the Supreme Court of Canada] in RJR-MacDonald with respect to the availability of public interest arguments to both the Attorney General and those opposed to him in major litigation raising clear issues of public interest.

	ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF ONTARIO v. FRANCIS ET AL.
		The first-named defendants claimed to have the right to cut the timber in question, under the authority of certain licenses so to do, granted by the proper department or officers of the Government of the Dominion of Canada to certain per- sons from or through whom these defendants claimed by purchase for valuable consideration.
		Many years ago these reserves were surveyed by the Crown, as was contemplated, excepting this one, No. 6 in the schedule and, as was stated at the trial, another one.
		Ontario, seem to place the matter of contention in this way, and until very near the close of the trial I thought that the only question would be whether or not these defendants had cut timber outside of the boundaries of the reserve.
