Cases cited below: Reference: Multani v. Commission scolaire Marguerite-Bourgeoys, 2006 SCC 6 Balvir Singh Multani et al., Appellants v.
Commission scolaire Marguerite Bourgeoys and A.G. of Quebec, Respondents and World Sikh Organization of Canada,
Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Canadian Human Rights Commission and
Ontario Human Rights Commission, Interveners Per McLachlin C.J. and
Iacobucci, Major, Arbour and Fish JJ.: Defined broadly, religion
typically involves a particular and comprehensive system of faith and
worship. In essence, religion is about freely and deeply held personal
convictions or beliefs connected to an individual's spiritual faith and
integrally linked to his or her self-definition and spiritual fulfillment,
the practices of which allow individuals to foster a connection with the
divine or with the subject or object of that spiritual faith. G and his father B are
orthodox Sikhs. G believes that his religion requires him to wear a
kirpan at all times; a kirpan is a religious object that resembles a dagger
and must be made of metal. In 2001, G accidentally dropped the kirpan
he was wearing under his clothes in the yard of the school he was attending.
The school board sent G’s parents a letter in which, as a reasonable
accommodation, it authorized their son to wear his kirpan to school provided
that he complied with certain conditions to ensure that it was sealed inside
his clothing. G and his parents agreed to this arrangement. The
governing board of the school refused to ratify the agreement on the basis
that wearing a kirpan at the school violated art. 5 of the school’s Code
de vie (code of conduct), which prohibited the carrying of weapons. The
school board’s council of commissioners upheld that decision and notified G
and his parents that a symbolic kirpan in the form of a pendant or one in
another form made of a material rendering it harmless would be acceptable in
the place of a real kirpan. B then
filed in the Superior Court a motion for a declaratory judgment to
the effect that the council of commissioners’ decision was of no force
or effect. The
Superior Court granted the motion, declared the decision to be null, and
authorized G to wear his kirpan under certain conditions. The Court of
Appeal set aside the Superior Court’s judgment. After deciding that the
applicable standard of view was reasonableness simpliciter, the Court of
Appeal restored the council of commissioners’ decision. It concluded
that the decision in question infringed G’s freedom of religion under
s. 2(a) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (“Canadian
Charter”) and s. 3 of Quebec’s Charter of human rights and freedoms
(“Quebec Charter”), but that the infringement was justified for the purposes
of s. 1 of the Canadian Charter and s. 9.1 of the Quebec Charter. Held: The appeal should be allowed. The
decision of the Court of Appeal should be set aside and the decision of the
council of commissioners should be declared to be null. Freedom of religion is
triggered when a claimant demonstrates that he or she sincerely believes in a
practice or belief that has a nexus with religion. Once religious freedom is triggered, a
court must then ascertain whether there has been non trivial or
non-insubstantial interference with the exercise of the implicated right so
as to constitute an infringement of freedom of religion under the Reference: Mills v. The Queen (1986), 26 C.C.C. (3d) 481, 29 D.L.R. (4th) 161, 52

subsection would not seem to be limited to a case where the applicant's
rights were infringed by the Government but rather would include the case
where the allegation is that the applicant's rights were infringed by another
court. Reference: RJR---MacDonald Inc. v. Reference: R. v Big M Drug Mart Ltd. [1985] 1. R.C.S. at The supremacy of the Constitution declared in s. 52 dictates that no one can be convicted under an
unconstitutional law. Any accused,
whether corporate or individual, may defend a criminal charge by arguing the
constitutional invalidity of the law under which the charge is brought. Reference: The Queen v. Christopher Clay and others JUDGMENT,
JUSTICE McCART . August 14, 1997 I wish to turn now to some statistical evidence which was introduced
by various of the witnesses and which I accept as valid. I heard from a most
impressive number of experts, among whom there was a general consensus about
effects of the consumption of marijuana. From an analysis of their evidence I
am able to reach the following conclusions: 1. Consumption of marijuana is relatively harmless 2.
There exists no hard evidence demonstrating any irreversible organic or mental damage from
consumption of marijuana; 4. There is no hard evidence that cannabis
consumption 5. Cannabis is not an addictive substance;
6. Marijuana is
not criminogenic in
that there is no 7. That the consumption of marijuana probably
does
not marijuana consumers, although there
appears to be a statistical
relationship between the use of marijuana and a variety of other psychoactive
drugs; 8. Marijuana does not make people more aggressive amotivational
syndrome;
11.
Less than 1% of marijuana consumers are daily users; 12.
Consumption in so called "Decriminalized states" does not increase out of proportion to states where there is no decriminalization. 13. Health
related costs of cannabis use are negligible when consumption. Reference: Federal Court of Canada - Docket: A-20-98

not “consider it necessary to form a concluded view” on whether the exclusion
of members of the public who wore head coverings “is in itself
sufficient to constitute reversible error,” in light of its decision to accept
