It's a very good question. Certainly, as you know, when we provide advice to the government as public servants and as lawyers, that advice is protected, but I think you also know that providing charter advice is part and parcel of the work that we do in supporting the minister and the government.
You will also know that with any offence, or any offence creation, most often they raise section 7 considerations—“life, liberty and security of the person”—so certainly that is something that would be looked at and analyzed in providing advice to the government.
I think the only other piece of information that I can offer to you would be to point you to our “Charterpedia” page on the Department of Justice homepage, which contains fairly detailed information on section 7 jurisprudence. Obviously that jurisprudence would inform the development of any advice we would give to a minister of the government.
