Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Divito v. Canada (Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness), [2013] 3 SCR 157, 2013 SCC 47 (CanLII):
Moreover, the greater administrative and financial costs occasioned by a prisoner transfer, as compared to the issuance of a passport, may be relevant at the s. 1 justification stage but are irrelevant to the s. 6(1) inquiry. “[T]he guarantees of the Charter would be illusory if they could be ignored because it was administratively convenient to do so”: Singh v. Minister of Employment and Immigration, 1985 CanLII 65 (SCC), [1985] 1 S.C.R. 177, at p. 218 (per Wilson J.).
