Extractions: Delgamuukw v. B.C. is a pivotal decision in the evolution of Canadian law on Aboriginal rights. Numerous meetings, round-tables, workshops and conferences have been held to discuss its potential impact on litigation and negotiation. Delgamuukw has also served as a vehicle for discussion of more fundamental issues such as the appropriateness of selecting the judicial forum to resolve Aboriginal title claims and the role of legal reasoning in furthering the process of colonization. Given the influence of British colonial law on the development of Aboriginal rights jurisprudence in former British colonies and the restrictions placed by evidentiary presumptions originating in English courts, Delgamuukw may also have persuasive precedential value outside of Canada. In particular, the Supreme Court's elaboration of the concept of Aboriginal rights and its discussion of the weight to be given to oral histories may influence other commonwealth courts which face the demanding task of accommodating the rights of colonized peoples within a contemporary political and legal rights regime. The importance of Delgamuukw is evident when it is considered with reference to earlier decisions of the Supreme Court and the reasoning of lower court judges hearing the case. Since the recognition and affirmation of Aboriginal rights in the Canadian Constitution
Extractions: BostonDecember 5, 2002The "oncomouse," so dubbed for its ability to reliably reproduce characteristics of various human cancers, was created in Harvard Medical School laboratories in the early 1980s through the careful manipulation of cancer causing genes. The oncomouse is used to study how cancers manifest, and to test new treatments for breast, prostate and other forms of this devastating disease. The Court's disappointing narrow decision leaned on technical aspects of a 19th century patent law and is counter to the recommendations made earlier this year by the Canadian government's own biotech committee. As the Court did, we would encourage the Canadian Parliament to reconsider this issue. Under the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, the United States Congress encouraged universities to take ownership of inventions arising from federally funded research, and at the same time required universities to make every effort to bring these inventions to public use. Harvard's long-standing internal policies require that inventions in health and therapeutics be used for public benefit as rapidly as possible. The University considers patents to be essential to making this happen. The oncomouse is a good example. It is a major research resource for studying a wide range of human cancers. It has been used extensively in academic and industry settings to work toward potential treatments and cures that could ease human suffering worldwide. Canadian scientists are at-risk of being left behind their colleagues around the world as a result of this decision.

However, the Supreme Court also said that it was up to Parliament to produce legislation to protect new human life. "As a young person who has was not even born in 1969 and one who is passionately opposed to the killing of unborn children, I feel I can speak about this particular anniversary," said Gillian Long, on behalf of Campaign Life Coalition. "The early feminists who pushed for so-called 'freedom of choice' over their own bodies are not relevant to today's youth. We reject the old rhetoric and we understand that human life begins at the time of conception (fertilization)", she continued. "The child in the womb is not a blob of tissue or a collection of cells as stated in 1969. The scientific facts speak for themselves and we speak for the defenseless child," she added. Meanwhile Canada's most notorious abortionist Henry Morgentaler celebrated the 1988 decision which is referred to as the Morgentaler decision. At a press conference at his Toronto abortuary, Morgentaler introduced Winnipeg abortionist Suzanne Newman to make a pitch for more public funding for Morgentaler's abortuary in that city.

"In failing to recognize and support partnerships, traditional and otherwise, are we not doing violence to the fabric of our community?" asked L'Heureux-Dube in her keynote talk given October 20. A commentary in the National Post days later asked if the justice, who "swore an oath of office to uphold the principle of judicial impartiality" should not excuse herself from judgments regarding homosexuality given her self-exposed bias. Other quotes from L'Heureux- Dube in her speech included: "Why does the law distinguish between partnerships?" "Why must it value some relationships and reject others? Should a person's entitlement to pensions, old age security, parental leaves and support payments hinge on his or her marital status?"

Extractions: Laws Recognising Same-Sex Partnerships Canadian Supreme Court Ruling That Same-Sex Couples Entitled To Equality May 20, 1999 EGALE PRESS RELEASE SUPREME COURT RULES: SAME-SEX COUPLES ENTITLED TO EQUALITY In the landmark decision of M v H & Ontario, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled today that the opposite-sex definition of "spouse" in Ontario’s Family Law Act is unconstitutional. The Court ordered that the law be changed to ensure equal treatment for same-sex spouses. Cory J., for the majority, held: "The societal significance of the benefit conferred by the statute cannot be overemphasized. The exclusion of same-sex partners from the benefits of s. 29 of the FLA promotes the view that M, and individuals in same-sex relationships generally, are less worthy of recognition and protection. It implies that they are judged to be incapable of forming intimate relationships of economic interdependence as compared to opposite sex couples, without regard to their actual circumstances. As the intervenor EGALE submitted, such exclusion perpetuates the disadvantages suffered by individuals in same-sex relationships and contributes to the erasure of their existence." "This is the first time ever that the Supreme Court has ruled that a law is unconstitutional because it fails to treat same-sex couples equally," said Jan Cheney, Chair of the Legal Issues Committee of EGALE (Equality for Gays and Lesbians Everywhere), which intervened in the appeal. "The decision is, however, consistent with numerous lower Court rulings. Now the Supreme Court has placed the matter beyond all doubt: it is a violation of the Constitution for Governments to deny equality to those in same-sex relationships. This decision is entirely consistent with a recent Angus Reid poll, which shows that more than two-thirds of Canadians support equal rights and responsibilities for those in same-sex relationships. British Columbia has already enacted similar legislation, and the sky has not fallen."

Two Canadian generic drug companies, Apotex and Novopharm, contended GlaxoSmithKline applied for a patent for AZT because it "only speculated" the drug would be effective against HIV/AIDS and had "improperly" claimed credit for discovering the drug's formulation (Lewis, National Post , 12/6/02). The generic drug companies said that because the NIH was "instrumental" in getting zidovudine recognized as a "genuine" HIV/AIDS drug, GlaxoSmithKline's patent was invalid, the
Extractions: The court based the ruling on administrative grounds, without addressing whether the ban violated the constitutional rights of homosexuals. Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, writing for the majority, said the school board, in refusing to authorize use of the books in early grades, bowed to the views of parents who opposed homosexuality on religious grounds. That meant the school board was "letting the religious views of a certain part of the community trump the need to show equal respect for the values of other members of the community." School board officials said it was too soon to say if the books would be used in classes in District 36 in Surrey, a Vancouver suburb. In imposing the ban, the school board said it was inappropriate to introduce discussion of same-sex parenting to young children. It also said parents who consider homosexuality to be morally wrong believed the books undermined their moral guidance to their children. Murray Warren, one of two gay teachers who challenged the 1997 ban, welcomed the ruling.
Extractions: OTTAWA (CNN) In a landmark gay rights ruling that could have ramifications across Canada, the Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Ontario's legal definition of a spouse as someone of the opposite sex is unconstitutional. The high court, by an 8-to-1 vote, gave Canada's most populous province six months to amend its Family Law Act to recognize same-sex couples. However, the court stressed that the ruling should not be construed as giving same-sex couples the right to marry. The decision was the Supreme Court's most definitive ruling yet on the legal rights of gays and lesbians in Canada. While Thursday's ruling applies directly only to Ontario, observers believe it could mean that hundreds of laws on both the federal and provincial levels will have to be rewritten.
