Is there any connection between issuance of a danger opinion and cruel and unusual treatment?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Solis v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration), 1998 CanLII 7792 (FC):

I agree with the Respondent"s arguments, and echo the words that Rothstein J. used in dealing with a similar s.12 challenge to s.70(5) in Gillespie v. The Minister of Citizenship and Immigration15: "I fail to see any connection between issuance of a danger opinion and cruel and unusual treatment as the term is used in s.12 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms." Accordingly, I find this challenge fails. 4. Section 15
