What is the purpose of the Charter challenge?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Ward v. Ontario (Attorney General), 2003 CanLII 16503 (ON SC):
I indicated earlier in these reasons that sound financial management of provincial education grants was clearly the purpose of the impugned legislation. I arrived at that conclusion mindful of the fact that the purpose or purposes of the legislation must be viewed in context. (ref. Delisle v. Attorney General of Canada, 1999 CanLII 649 (SCC), [1999] 2 S.C.R. 989 at 1042). Significantly, the Charter challenge is not to the legislation as a whole, no doubt a recognition of the long legislature and judicial history of the genre of legislation in issue.
