Memo: SOCI Committee’s Study of Bill C-35: An Act Respecting Early Learning and Child Care in Canada

Cardus made a submission to the Senate committee studying Bill C-35: An Act respecting early learning and child care in Canada. We argue that the bill is unnecessary and enshrines an inequitable program. However, if Senators support Bill C-35 to the next legislative stage, Cardus recommends several amendments to strengthen the legislation.

Conflicting Rights? Balancing Equality and Fundamental Freedoms

Far from opposing one another, neither fundamental freedoms nor equality can exist without a meaningful guarantee of the other. The paper critiques case law and scholarship that needlessly pits these constitutional guarantees against one another.
