Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from P.S.A.C. v. Canada (Dept. of National Defence), 1994 CanLII 18405 (CHRT):
In the case of Acme Village School District v. Steele-Smith, 1932 CanLII 40 (SCC), [1933] S.C.R. 47, recognition was given to the two conflicting presumptions, "that statutes are not to be construed as having retrospective operation unless such a construction appears very clearly in the terms of the Act, or arises by necessary or distinct implication," and "should not be given a construction that would impair existing rights, unless that effect cannot be avoided without doing violence to the language of the enactment."
