If I could add one further point too, the notion of substantive equality, which is that people are entitled to equality of results, is I think an ideological point that the government took objection to in favour of a more formal equality approach, which is sameness of treatment. The court has already judged the meaning of section 15 to be substantive equality.
So I think there are some miscomprehensions on what equality means in Canada insofar as our supreme law is concerned, and either a lack of understanding or a fundamental disagreement to roll the clock back to a time of formal equality, where people would not be advantaged by having some access to the courts because they do not have what other people have and they live in a situation of disadvantage.
