Dissent
There were two dissenting opinions:
- McLachlin – with L’Heureux-Dube – held that section 16(4) did not violate s. 11(d) of the Charter, and the trial judge did not err in any way.
- Sopinka held that section 16(4) violated section 11(d) but was justifiable under section 1 of the Charter. He also agreed with McLachlin that the judge did not err.
