Affirmative Action In Question: A Coherent Theory For Section 15(2), Mark A. Drumbl, John D.R. Craig Jan 1997

Affirmative Action In Question: A Coherent Theory For Section 15(2), Mark A. Drumbl, John D.R. Craig

Scholarly Articles

Affirmative action programs are constitutionally protected in Canada under section 15(2) of the Charter. This section has received little judicial interpretation and, consequently, no coherent approach to the interpretation of section 15(2) has been developed. Furthermore, there is an urgent need to define the meaning of section 15(2), as affirmative action programs can be used to perpetuate stereotypes and discrimination while being given a blanket endorsement through section 15(2). The authors suggest that section 15(2) does not merely promote substantive equality, as this is the function of section 15(1), but embodies the social justice conception of equality, which allocates social …

The State As Landlord: The Constitutionality Of The Termination Of Public Housing Leases On Account Of A Tenant's Illegal Activities, Mark Anthony Drumbl Jan 1996

The State As Landlord: The Constitutionality Of The Termination Of Public Housing Leases On Account Of A Tenant's Illegal Activities, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

Paragraph 107(l)(b) of the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Act enables landlords to evict tenants on short notice for engaging in illegal activity or for permitting such activity to be conducted in or on any part of the rental premises. Under this provision, the landlord can serve a notice of termination on the tenant, who may then exercise his/her right to dispute the landlord's allegation at a scheduled court hearing.

This paper suggests that paragraph 107(l)(b) is inconsistent with the underlying purposes of the Landlord and Tenant Act, and might run afoul of sections 7 and 15 of the Canadian Charter …

Canada's New Immigration Act: An Affront To The Charter And Canada's Collective Conscience?, Mark Anthony Drumbl Jan 1994

Canada's New Immigration Act: An Affront To The Charter And Canada's Collective Conscience?, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

This essay explores the constitutionality of sections 46.01(1) and 19(1)(c.1)(i) of the federal Immigration Act. These sections empower immigration officials to exclude from the refugee determination process any claimant who has arrived in Canada via a "safe" third country or who has been determined to have committed a criminal offence in the home country, unless the claimant falls into several narrow exceptions provided by the statute. The author submits that these provisions violate the procedural requirements of fundamental justice guaranteed by section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. A further investigation is made as to whether these …


Civil, Constitutional And Criminal Justice Responses To Female Partner Abuse: Proposals For Reform, Mark Anthony Drumbl Jan 1994

Civil, Constitutional And Criminal Justice Responses To Female Partner Abuse: Proposals For Reform, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

Female partner abuse -- the battering inflicted by heterosexual men upon their wives, common-law spouses and intimate partners -- is a pervasive phenomenon in North American society. Through a comparative analysis of the responses to female partner abuse in Buffalo (New York), Toronto and London (Ontario) this paper demonstrates that pro-arrest policing policies have a vital role in curbing conjugal violence. Nevertheless, any truly effective response to female partner abuse must link the criminal justice system with other areas of the law as well as community services. With this interdisciplinary approach as a governing paradigm, several reforms are proposed. These …


Exploring The Constitutional Limits To Workfare And Learnfare, Mark Anthony Drumbl Jan 1994

Exploring The Constitutional Limits To Workfare And Learnfare, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

In recent times, there has been growing interest in the concepts of mandatory work and training programs for social assistance recipients. In this article, the author examines the social policy arguments for and against such programs. He also analyzes them from the perspective of the Charter of Rights. He concludes that mandatory work and training programs may be subject to legal challenge under the Charter of Rights unless participation is voluntary or the programs are carefully designed.

Illiteracy, Disempowerment And Injustice: How The Ontario Human Rights Code Can Protect Persons With Low Literacy Skills, Mark Anthony Drumbl Jan 1993

Illiteracy, Disempowerment And Injustice: How The Ontario Human Rights Code Can Protect Persons With Low Literacy Skills, Mark Anthony Drumbl

Scholarly Articles

For too long individuals with low literacy skills have been viewed as "illiterates" living on the margins of society, unable to function as well as their "literate" counterparts. In reality, the one third of all Canadians who have weak literacy skills perform vital roles in society and deserve not to be discriminated against in political employment and contractual situations.

Accordingly, the author suggests that discrimination against individuals with low literacy skills be prohibited by the creation of a new ground in the Ontario Human Rights Code entitled "lack of proficiency in English or French". The author canvasses the ability of …
