There are clearly different interpretations of the case of Truchon v. Procureur général du Canada and the Carter decision.
Throughout the history of Canadian law, it has always been the courts that have settled such matters. It was the Supreme Court that ruled on the matter and called upon lawmakers to ensure that the law complied with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
In the meantime, why would it be appropriate at this point to ask the Supreme Court to clarify this issue and rule specifically on it? Could it clarify its position, and could the government make such a request? Would that not put an end to the interpretations suggesting that the Truchon case did not comply with the Carter decision and that the latter does not say what it says?
Nothing has been done on the legal front for the past three years.
