Certainly, there are still equality rights cases in the courts facing the federal government, as well as, of course, provincial and territorial governments. I would say that over the last number of years there has been a major decision before the Supreme Court every couple of years.
There was one just this past year in the aboriginal context. It is called the Taypotat decision. The one before that was in 2013, and it involved an issue in Quebec of matrimonial property division as well as support with respect to de facto spouses.
While we certainly have over 30 years of jurisprudence now built up with respect to equality rights, we continue to see cases coming forward against all levels of government. Certainly, we see the Supreme Court itself continuing to fine-tune its approaches to interpreting these rights.
On the horizon, we envision other issues that are going to come up, as well, that will be challenged. This also goes to a basic principle that the courts apply when interpreting the Constitution, which certainly applies to equality rights as well as official language rights. It is the idea that the Constitution is a living tree. It is meant to be interpreted progressively over time so that it can stay in step with changes in social conditions and continue to adapt to modern realities. That goes to the idea of need over time, as well.
