		The Ontario Court of Appeal held that the use of Lavigne's (and other workers) union dues by OPSEU was a private activity carried on by a private organization (OPSEU) and was therefore beyond the reach of the Charter.

		He found that Lavigne's contribution to the union, in the form of union dues, cannot be said to be an attempt to convey meaning.
