Topic: Section Six of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

	Supreme Court of Canada - Decisions - Eldridge v. British Columbia (Attorney General)
		Even though a legislature may give authority to a body that is not subject to the Charter, the Charter applies to all the activities of government whether or not they may be otherwise characterized as “private” and it may apply to non-governmental entities in respect of certain inherently governmental actions.
		Section 4.04 of the Regulations does expressly state, however, that certain services, such as those provided solely for legal, industrial or insurance purposes, as well as telephone advice and cosmetic procedures, are not insured.
		Section 3(1) of the Act states that “every qualified person or beneficiary is entitled to receive the general hospital services provided under this Act”.

	Canadian Charter of Rights Decisions Digest - SECTION 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Section 3 of the Charter is clear and unambiguous as is its purpose: it is limited to the elections of provincial and federal representatives.
		Section 3 does not advert to the composition of Parliament subsequent to an election, but only to the right of each citizen to a certain level of participation in the electoral process.
		Section 3 deals with the right to vote and the right to be elected, and that is different from setting standards for sitting members.

	Electoral Rights: Charter of Rights and Freedoms (90-5E) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		In the first round of Charter challenges, the courts did not go from the question of whether there was a right to cast a vote to looking at the quality of the vote cast. In 1986, however, a petitioner in British Columbia asked for a declaration that unevenly populated electoral districts violate the Charter.
		Given the degree to which the principle of relative equality of voting rights had been infringed, however, together with the lack of justification in terms of regional or geographical concerns or short‑term population fluctuations, the electoral boundaries could not be saved under section 1 of the Charter.
		Turning to a section 1 analysis, the Court decided that the purpose of the legislation was sufficiently pressing and substantial to justify a possible infringement of freedom of expression. Moreover, the reservation of broadcast time was proportionate to the purpose and constitutionally valid.

		Section 15 prohibits discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age, or mental or physical disability, or analogous groups, which has been interpreted to include sexual orientation.
		Section 28 provides: "Notwithstanding anything in this Charter, the rights and freedoms referred to it are guaranteed equally to male and female persons." The Charter generally governs the relationships between governments (federal, provincial and municipal) and individuals rather than between individuals.
		Canada's promotion of gender equality is based on a belief that equal rights for women are an essential component of progress on human rights and democratic development, and sustainable development will only be achieved if women are able to participate as equal decision makers in, and beneficiaries of, that development.

	Public Address \| Speaker
		The Canadian Bill of Rights was enacted in 1960, and - as with the New Zealand Bill of Rights - concerns that it would limit the sovereignty of parliament meant that it was not entrenched as supreme law.
		However this resulted in legislation which was widely acknowledged to be ineffective, and consequently the government was impelled to introduce the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982.
		It has come to be regarded as one of the cornerstones of Canadian identity, and has consistently enjoyed widespread support from the Canadian public.
