Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Minister of Employment and Social Development v B. T., 2015 SSTAD 107 (CanLII):

Another example is provided in Gosselin v. Quebec (Attorney General)[21] where it was stated that “the inability of a given social program to meet the needs of each and every individual does not permit us to conclude that the program failed to correspond to the actual needs and circumstances of the affected group.”
