What's justice? I'd say justice is a very broad concept, but in this case access to justice is what's most important; when you deny people access to the courts, you have no access to justice, even though we may have a Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Justice includes, in this country, charter rights: freedom from discrimination, equality rights, and section 7 rights on security of the person. Justice is a very important part of this, and it's the ability to both defend against injustice and to assert positive rights.
