The Gosselin Case Supreme Court to Hear First Social and Economic Rights Claim: Gosselin v. Quebec
On October 29, 2001, the Supreme Court of Canada will hear an historic case - the first claim under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the first claim under human rights legislation to a right to an adequate level of social assistance for those in need. There is a lot riding on it for poor people and for human rights in Canada. The Charter Committee on Poverty Issues (CCPI) has been granted leave to intervene. So have the National Association of Women and the Law (NAWL) and Rights and Democracy, previously the International Centre for Human Rights and Democratic Development, headed by Warren Allmand.
