Cette cause concernait comment l\u2019art. 7 de la Chartre<\/em><\/a> s\u2019appliquait aux proc\u00e8s \u00e0 propos des droits de la personne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le FAEJ, avec l\u2019implication du West Coast FAEJ, est intervenu devant la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Andrea Willis et Irene Schell ont travaill\u00e9 pour Robin Blencoe alors qu\u2019il \u00e9tait ministre des Sports et des Loisirs de la Colombie-Britannique. Ils ont d\u00e9pos\u00e9 des plaintes de harc\u00e8lement sexuel contre M. Blencoe aupr\u00e8s du British Columbia Human Council of Human Rights (maintenant la British Columbia Human Rights Commission). Des audiences ont \u00e9t\u00e9 pr\u00e9vues plus de 30 mois apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9p\u00f4t des plaintes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blencoe a demand\u00e9 \u00e0 la Cour supr\u00eame de la Colombie-Britannique un sursis (arr\u00eat) de la proc\u00e9dure relative aux droits de la personne, affirmant que le retard \u00e9quivalait \u00e0 un abus de proc\u00e9dure et \u00e0 un d\u00e9ni de justice naturelle. La Cour a rejet\u00e9 sa demande. Les juges majoritaires de la Cour d\u2019appel de la Colombie-Britannique ont accueilli l\u2019appel de M. Blencoe, concluant que ses droits en vertu de l\u2019art.7 de la Chartre<\/em><\/a> <\/em>\u00e0 propos de ses droits \u00e0 la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 de la personne garanti par la Charte avait \u00e9t\u00e9 viol\u00e9. L’affaire a ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 port\u00e9e devant la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argumentation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le FAEJ a soutenu que les proc\u00e9dures relatives aux droits de la personne engageaient au moins les int\u00e9r\u00eats des plaignantes en vertu de l\u2019art.  7<\/a>, mais qu’il fallait \u00eatre tr\u00e8s prudent pour d\u00e9cider si la proc\u00e9dure engageait les int\u00e9r\u00eats des intim\u00e9s sous l\u2019art.  7<\/a> . Les droits \u00e0 l’\u00e9galit\u00e9 des plaignantes \u00e9taient au c\u0153ur d’une bonne analyse sous l\u2019art. 7<\/a>. Et un sursis ne serait presque jamais le rem\u00e8de appropri\u00e9, car elle porterait offense aux droits des plaignantes en vertu des arts.  7<\/a>, 15<\/a> et 28 de la Chartre<\/em><\/a> <\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00e9sultat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Une majorit\u00e9 de la Cour supr\u00eame a statu\u00e9 que la Charte s’appliquait aux actions de la British Columbia Human Rights Commission.  Pourque l\u2019art. 7<\/a> s\u2019applique, l\u2019individu devra d\u00e9montrer que l\u2019\u00c9tat les a emp\u00each\u00e9s de faire des choix personnels fondamentaux ou que les actions de l\u2019\u00c9tat leur ont caus\u00e9 un grave pr\u00e9judice psychologique. Ce n’\u00e9tait pas le cas pour M. Blencoe. De plus, le retard dans l’affaire ne constituait pas un abus de proc\u00e9dure. En cons\u00e9quence, la Cour a accueilli l’appel et a ordonn\u00e9 que la proc\u00e9dure avance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le FAEJ est reconnaissant \u00e0 Jennifer Conkie et Dianne Pothier, avocates dans cette affaire, ainsi qu’\u00e0 Carole Brown, agente du FAEJ \u00e0 Ottawa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
