Charkaoui V. Canada (Citizenship and Immigration) - Events Subsequent To The Decision

Events Subsequent To The Decision

On July 31, 2009 the Crown admitted there was insufficient evidence to uphold the security certificate against Mr. Charkaoui. This followed the Crown withdrawing much of its evidence in the face of Court orders for greater transparency. In response Justice Tremblay-Lamer presiding over the case issued a directive on August 5, 2009 saying she will consider whether she should quash the certificate or order the Ministers to revoke it themselves on her return from holidays, in early September.

On September 24, 2009 Justice Tremblay-Lamer announced she would lift all restrictions on Mr. Charkaoui by the end of the day.

    Francis Bret Harte (1836–1902)

    The issue is privacy. Why is the decision by a woman to sleep with a man she has just met in a bar a private one, and the decision to sleep with the same man for $100 subject to criminal penalties?
    Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
