Professor David Boyd published an article titled «No Taps, No Toilets: First Nations and the Constitutional Right to Water in Canada» in the McGill Law Journal Vol.57 No.1. The article's abstract states the following:
«Do First Nations have an enforceable constitutional right to water? This article suggests that they do, based on the right to life, liberty, and security of the person under section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms; the right to equality under section 15 of the Charter; and governments’ obligation to provide “essential public services of reasonable quality to all Canadians” under section 36 of the Constitution Act, 1982.»
I think this is a shocking situation which needs to be rectified immediately.
ReplyDeleteIt is a national disgrace. Glad you paid attention to it here.
