Human Rights In Canadian Society: Mechanisms For Raising The Issues And Providing Redress, A. Wayne Mackay
Human Rights In Canadian Society: Mechanisms For Raising The Issues And Providing Redress, A. Wayne Mackay
Dalhousie Law Journal
To the great body of the people, the whole mass of right is without remedy. Selling justice to the favoured few, denying it to the many, the system gives the rights in outward show; takes them away in effect; gives rights by what it says, takes them away by what it does. 1 Society has changed since Jeremy Bentham made the above observation.

The decade and a half …
