Marion Boyd has submitted her review of the arbitration process in Ontario and the appropriateness of its use in resolving family disputes, entitled, “Dispute Resolution in Family Law: Protecting Choice, Promoting Inclusion,”1 to the Attorney General and the Minister Responsible for Women’s Issues.
Boyd stresses the importance of true consent and choice, and states: “People are entitled to make choices that others may perceive not to be correct, as long as they are legally capable of making such choices and the choice is not prohibited by law.
Boyd makes the point that laws in Canada and Ontario are based on Judeo-Christian principles with the result that, “the laws of the province and their application are more easily digestible by some cultures than others, making their impact disproportionate on those who do not belong to the dominant culture.

After all, despite Boyd’s willingness to respond to whatever voice manages to lobby her, as it stands now there is nothing in the Arbitration Act that says that religious-based arbitration is allowed, and her report confirms that.

 CBC Montreal - Religion
In her report, Boyd noted that some "participants in the Review fear that the use of arbitration is the beginning of a process whose end goal is a separate political identity for Muslims in Canada, that has not been the experience of other groups who use arbitration."
Most of the concerns about the creation of "Shariah" tribunals have focused on the fear that Muslim women may feel they are being forced into taking part in a process of binding arbitration according to Muslim family law instead of resolving their disputes through the court system.
In her report, Boyd stressed that any faith-based system would have to conform to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

 Humanist Association of Toronto - Sharia Letters
Marion Boyd has presented  is a long and complex report with some very good suggestions and observations and with some with which I have serious concerns.  Below is by no means a thorough and exhaustive review of the report.  Rather it is a highly subjective and personal analysis of the points that particularly interested me.
There is something inherently dishonest in Marion Boyd’s “review of arbitration of family law and inheritance matters and its impact on vulnerable people”.
When Marion Boyd or I use arbitration that is true.  But for thousands of women in Ontario they use it because for social, religious, economic, psychological and other reasons, they really have no choice.  They have only a legal choice, but in reality, they have no other choice.
