Canada’s prevailing Aboriginal consultation regime for major energy projects is not working. Indeed, Indigenous peoples, industry proponents, and the Crown have all expressed increasing frustration and dismay at the uncertainty and acrimony that a legal regime intended to facilitate reconciliation between Canada and Indigenous peoples has counterproductively generated. In this paper, I describe the underlying principles of a process-oriented reconciliation that animate the Court’s jurisprudence on section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982. I then identify the failures in effectively translating these principles to the major energy context, focusing in particular on the harms generated by the lack of accountability and transparency of the National Energy Board/Canada Energy Regulator administrative scheme. I finally consider two alternatives or additions to contemporary resource project consultations – namely, Impact and Benefit Agreements (IBAs) and a proposed Indigenous veto – finding that an Indigenous veto may be an especially effective means of introducing greater equity, fairness, and certainty to major energy project development in Canada, to the benefit of all relevant stakeholders.
加拿大现行的主要能源项目原住民协商制度不起作用。事实上,土著人民、行业支持者和王室都对旨在促进加拿大和土著人民和解的法律制度产生的不确定性和激烈争论表示越来越沮丧和沮丧。在本文中,我描述了以程序为导向的和解的基本原则,这些原则激发了法院对1982年《宪法法》第35条的判例。然后,我确定了在将这些原则有效转化为主要能源环境方面的失败,特别关注国家能源委员会/加拿大能源监管机构行政计划缺乏问责制和透明度所造成的危害。最后,我考虑了当代资源项目协商的两种替代方案或补充方案,即影响和效益协议(IBA)和拟议的土著否决权,发现土著否决权可能是为加拿大重大能源项目开发引入更大公平性、公正性和确定性的一种特别有效的手段,有利于所有相关利益攸关方。

School Nurses: An Indispensable Resource for Health Promotion in Ontario's Children and Adolescents 学校护士:安大略省儿童和青少年健康促进不可或缺的资源

School nurses play an important role in the promotion of physical, mental, and social health, as well as the prevention of disease and injury in school-aged children. Promotion of health is also a central goal of the Ontario government, and is codified in the Health Protection and Promotion Act (HPPA). Part I of this paper demonstrates that a reasonable interpretation of the HPPA supports the implementation of a robust school nurse program that can meet the health needs of children. Part II explores the shortcomings of current school health programs in Ontario and provides policy reasons that support a comprehensive school nurse program.  Part III identifies logistical barriers to the implementation of a school nurse program that need to be overcome in order to plan and provide adequate school nurse programs. A significant increase in the availability of school nurses is an optimal way to fulfill the Ontario government’s legislative objectives of protecting and promoting public health in its communities. The scope of practice of registered nurses places them in the best position to implement and ensure that the goals of the HPPA are met in Ontario’s schools.
学校护士在促进身体、心理和社会健康以及预防学龄儿童的疾病和伤害方面发挥着重要作用。促进健康也是安大略省政府的中心目标,并被编入《健康保护和促进法》。本文的第一部分表明,对HPPA的合理解释支持实施强有力的学校护士计划,以满足儿童的健康需求。第二部分探讨了安大略省现行学校健康计划的不足,并提出了支持全面学校护士计划的政策理由。第三部分确定了实施学校护士计划的后勤障碍,这些障碍需要克服,以便规划和提供足够的学校护士计划。大幅增加学校护士的可用性是实现安大略省政府保护和促进社区公共卫生立法目标的最佳方式。注册护士的执业范围使他们处于实施和确保安大略省学校实现HPPA目标的最佳位置。

Gender Diversity in the Boardroom: Raising Questions About the "Comply or Explain" Model and Targets in Canada 董事会会议室的性别多样性:对加拿大的“服从或解释”模式和目标提出质疑

Effective corporate governance requires diversity in perspectives. Nevertheless, gender disparity continues to be a long-standing and prevalent problem on Canadian boards of directors and in executive roles. A “business case” argument that asserts that diverse leadership achieves better financial results has been put forward in support of rectifying gender disparity; however, recent meta-analyses research denies the validity of the “business case” argument. This paper argues that conclusions regarding the invalidity of the business case should be approached with caution. In 2014, securities regulators in Canada implemented amendments to Form 58-101F1 Corporate Governance Disclosure in order to address gender diversity. Unfortunately, progress has been slow because the new diversity disclosure rules are not based on a true “comply or explain” model. This paper argues that securities regulators should require publicly traded companies to adopt a policy relating to the representation of women on their boards. Furthermore, this policy should include a target percentage, chosen by the company, for women on a company’s board of directors and in their executive officer positions.
有效的公司治理需要视角的多样性。尽管如此,性别差距仍然是加拿大董事会和行政部门长期存在的普遍问题。有人提出了一个“商业案例”论点,声称多元化领导能够取得更好的财务成果,以支持纠正性别差异;然而,最近的元分析研究否定了“商业案例”论点的有效性。本文认为,应谨慎对待有关商业案例无效的结论。2014年,加拿大证券监管机构对表格58-101F1《公司治理披露》进行了修订,以解决性别多样性问题。不幸的是,进展缓慢,因为新的多样性披露规则并不是基于真正的“遵守或解释”模式。本文认为,证券监管机构应要求上市公司采取与董事会中女性代表性有关的政策。此外,这项政策应包括由公司选择的女性在公司董事会和执行官职位上的目标百分比。

A Wall Between the "Public" and the "Private": A Comment on Highwood Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses (Judicial Committee) v Wall “公共”与“私人”之间的一堵墙——评海伍德耶和华见证人会(司法委员会)诉Wall案
Q4 LAW Pub Date : 2019-06-20 DOI: 10.5206/UWOJLS.V9I2.8076
Mannu Chowdhury
This case comment examines the Supreme Court of Canada’s recent decision in Highwood Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses (Judicial Committee) v Wall. The court ruled that a church’s decision to excommunicate a member could not be judicially reviewed. Rather, judicial review is reserved for decisions by state actors. Wall narrows the scope of judicial review such that many quasi-public actors—such as sports administrators and political parties—are no longer subject to judicial review. The author argues that Wall’s prima facie simplification of the law of judicial review masks deeper conceptual and practical tensions. Specifically, by immunizing quasi-public actors—who are integral to the administrative state—from judicial review, Wall raises questions of accountability. Moreover, the spread of Charter values among such actors is potentially thwarted by this decision. Finally, what is more problematic is that in arriving at its approach to judicial review in Wall, the Supreme Court misinterpreted a helpful body of cases on the public–private distinction and further complicated the question of when judicial review is available to litigants.
本案评论审查了加拿大最高法院最近在Highwood Congregation of耶和华见证人会(司法委员会)诉Wall一案中的裁决。法院裁定,不能对教会开除其成员的决定进行司法审查。相反,司法审查是为国家行为者的决定保留的。Wall缩小了司法审查的范围,使得许多准公共行为者——如体育行政人员和政党——不再接受司法审查。作者认为,沃尔对司法审查法的表面简化掩盖了更深层次的概念和实践紧张关系。具体来说,通过使作为行政国家组成部分的准公共行为者免受司法审查,沃尔提出了问责问题。此外,这一决定可能会阻碍《宪章》价值观在这些行动者之间的传播。最后,更成问题的是,最高法院在制定《华尔街日报》的司法审查方法时,误解了一系列关于公私区别的有益案例,并使诉讼当事人何时可以获得司法审查的问题进一步复杂化。

Assessing the Damage: Money Awards by the OHRT in Sexual Harassment Cases 评估损失:OHRT在性骚扰案件中的金钱奖励
Q4 LAW Pub Date : 2019-06-20 DOI: 10.5206/UWOJLS.V9I2.8069
Honor M. Lay
Individuals who experience sexual harassment in employment, housing, education, or other social services in Ontario may be entitled to a general damages remedy under section 45.2 of the Ontario Human Rights Code. The Ontario Human Rights Tribunal conducts an objective analysis of the severity of the harasser’s conduct and a subjective analysis of the impact of the incident on the applicant. Generally, the more severe the conduct or impact on the applicant, the higher the award for general damages. Due to an expectation that individuals will appear traumatized after enduring sexual harassment, an applicant’s failure to produce evidence of distress or traumatization will often adversely affect his or her entitlement to higher damage awards. This paper argues that the requirement to produce medical proof is an unwarranted invasion of the individual’s right to medical privacy, unjustly imposes an additional evidentiary burden upon the applicant, and perpetuates the myth surrounding sexual assault that trauma is visible and uniform.
在安大略省的就业、住房、教育或其他社会服务中遭受性骚扰的个人有权根据《安大略省人权法典》第45.2条获得一般损害赔偿。安大略省人权法庭对骚扰者行为的严重程度进行客观分析,并对事件对申请人的影响进行主观分析。一般来说,对申请人的行为或影响越严重,一般损害赔偿的金额就越高。由于预期个人在遭受性骚扰后会表现出精神创伤,申请人未能提供痛苦或精神创伤的证据通常会对他或她获得更高损害赔偿的权利产生不利影响。本文认为,提供医疗证明的要求是对个人医疗隐私权的无理侵犯,不公正地给申请人增加了额外的举证负担,并使围绕性侵犯的神话永久化,即创伤是可见的和统一的。

Direct Discrimination and Indirect Discrimination: A Distinction with a Difference 直接歧视与间接歧视:有区别的区别
Q4 LAW Pub Date : 2019-06-20 DOI: 10.5206/UWOJLS.V9I2.8072
A. Yu
Since Meiorin, it can be tempting to think that in Canadian law, the distinction between direct discrimination and indirect discrimination is now a distinction without a difference. The same analytical framework applies to both kinds of discrimination, and both can yield liability, so one might think that focusing on the distinction pointlessly distracts from the substantive concerns of discrimination law. However, I take a different view. In the context of Canadian human rights codes, the distinction remains significant. Despite attempts to abandon the distinction, the distinction seems to hold intuitive appeal and carries practical benefits. I submit that it is a distinction with a difference: it encourages adjudicators to consider more carefully discrimination without discriminatory intent, thus identifying cases of genuine discrimination they might otherwise miss.
自从Meiorin以来,人们很容易认为,在加拿大法律中,直接歧视和间接歧视之间的区别现在是没有区别的区别。同样的分析框架适用于这两种歧视,两者都可能产生责任,因此人们可能会认为,毫无意义地关注这种区别会分散对歧视法实质性问题的关注。然而,我持不同看法。在加拿大人权法的背景下,这种区别仍然很明显。尽管有人试图放弃这种区别,但这种区别似乎具有直观的吸引力,并带来了实际的好处。我认为,这是一个有区别的区别:它鼓励裁决者在没有歧视意图的情况下更仔细地考虑歧视,从而确定他们可能遗漏的真正歧视案件。

Dancing in the Dark: An Analysis of the Live Entertainment Industry and the Deceptive Market Practices of Ticketmaster and Live Nation 《在黑暗中跳舞》:直播娱乐业与Ticketmaster和Live Nation的欺骗性市场行为分析

Erik Holmstrom
Live Nation and its subsidiary Ticketmaster control a wide range of areas within the live entertainment industry. Their current conduct in that industry regarding fees added to ticket prices is arguably in violation of Canada’s Competition Act. Canada’s Competition Bureau, the country’s economic watchdog, recently filed an application alleging that these fee add-ons constitute deceptive marketing practices. Ticketmaster’s defence in support of their fees is contradictory to their practices and is unreasonable and self-serving. Regardless of the outcome of the Competition Bureau’s application, federal legislation should be implemented to curb these marketing practices.
Live Nation及其子公司Ticketmaster控制着现场娱乐行业的广泛领域。他们目前在该行业关于门票价格附加费的行为可以说违反了加拿大的《竞争法》。加拿大经济监督机构竞争局最近提交了一份申请,声称这些附加费用构成欺骗性营销行为。Ticketmaster为支持他们的费用而进行的辩护与他们的做法相矛盾,是不合理和自私的。无论竞争局的申请结果如何,都应该实施联邦立法来遏制这些营销行为。

Whistleblowing in Canada 加拿大的告密者
Q4 LAW Pub Date : 2019-02-01 DOI: 10.5206/UWOJLS.V9I1.6838
Siavash Vatanchi
Whistleblowing has only been utilized in the fight against corruption effectively the past couple of decades. Today, while many public sector employees enjoy sweeping legislative protections, a significant portion of the 12 million Canadians working in the private sector remain inadequately protected. This paper will explore the shortcomings associated with the present Canadian system and examine how our whistleblower protections can be strengthened by incorporating world leading measures from countries like the U.S., U.K., Japan, as well as others. A case for the enactment of uniform legislation aimed at protecting all whistleblowers in Canada will ultimately be made. Even though the beneficial consequences of such an act will be multifaceted and profound, chiefly because it will put an end to the unequal rights public and private sector workers are afforded, the scope of this essay will be largely limited to exploring how expanding whistleblowing protections will allow Canada to better fulfill its international anti-corruption obligations under the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act.
在过去的几十年里,举报才被有效地用于打击腐败。今天,虽然许多公共部门雇员享有广泛的立法保护,但在私营部门工作的1200万加拿大人中有很大一部分仍然没有得到充分的保护。本文将探讨与加拿大现行制度相关的缺点,并研究如何通过结合美国、英国、日本等国的世界领先措施来加强对举报人的保护。最终将提出制定统一立法以保护加拿大所有举报人的案例。尽管这种行为的有益后果将是多方面和深刻的,主要是因为它将结束公共和私营部门工人享有的不平等权利,但本文的范围将主要限于探索扩大举报保护将如何使加拿大更好地履行《外国公职人员腐败法》规定的国际反腐败义务。

Runaway Jurors 失控的陪审团
Q4 LAW Pub Date : 2019-02-01 DOI: 10.5206/uwojls.v9i1.6836
K. Hogg
This paper considers the impact of out-of-court research by jurors on trial fairness and policies to deter such independent research. Though jurors are barred from considering evidence outside the courtroom, some recent Canadian cases show that independent research occurs nonetheless. Part I of the paper reviews the policy rationales for the ban on juror research. Part II discusses the prevalence of independent research and reviews some recent Canadian cases in which the issue is addressed.  Part III considers solutions to the problem including the approaches taken by the UK and throughout the US. The paper concludes by recommending that Canada act pre-emptively to deter independent juror research before resorting to criminal prosecution of so-called "runaway jurors."
本文考虑了陪审员庭外研究对审判公平性的影响,以及阻止此类独立研究的政策。尽管陪审员被禁止在法庭外考虑证据,但加拿大最近的一些案件表明,尽管如此,仍有独立的研究。论文的第一部分回顾了禁止陪审员研究的政策依据。第二部分讨论了独立研究的普遍性,并回顾了加拿大最近处理这一问题的一些案例。第三部分考虑了这个问题的解决方案,包括英国和整个美国采取的方法。论文最后建议加拿大在对所谓的“失控陪审员”提起刑事诉讼之前,先发制人,阻止独立陪审员的研究

Mandatory reporting legislation is designed to clarify when to report and ensure that all cases of child maltreatment are reported. However, while mandated reporting is well meaning and in the public interest, many practical difficulties for health care professionals and families reduce its effectiveness. Therefore, Ontario mandatory reporting legislation is falling short of its purpose of eliminating underreporting to protect children. This paper outlines this problem and offers some potential solutions.
强制性报告立法旨在澄清何时报告并确保报告所有虐待儿童案件。然而,虽然强制性报告是善意的,符合公共利益,但保健专业人员和家庭面临的许多实际困难降低了其有效性。因此,安大略省的强制性报告立法未能达到消除漏报以保护儿童的目的。本文概述了这一问题,并提出了一些可能的解决方案。
