Summary:
Deaf persons applied for declarations that, inter alia, the Medical and Health Care Services Act and the Hospital Insurance Act violated s. 15(1) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms by failing to provide interpreting services for the deaf as a benefit. The trial judge, in a decision reported in 75 B.C.L.R.(2d) 68, dismissed the application. The deaf persons appealed.
The British Columbia Court of Appeal, in a judgment reported 59 B.C.A.C. 254; 98 W.A.C. 254, dismissed the appeal. The deaf persons appealed.
The Supreme Court of Canada allowed the appeal. The court held that the legislation did not violate equality rights, but the hospitals and Commission, exercising a discretion in furtherance of a specific government program, did discriminate against deaf persons. Discrimination was based on the adverse effects of the facially neutral benefit scheme. The decision not to fund sign language interpretation was not a reasonable limit prescribed by law under s. 1 of the Charter, because it failed the minimal impairment test. The appropriate remedy was to declare the failure to fund unconstitutional and to direct the hospitals and Commission to comply with s. 15(1). The court suspended the effectiveness of the declaration for six months to permit the government to explore its options and formulate an appropriate response.

Civil Rights - Topic 5516
Equality and protection of the law - Tests for inequality - The Supreme Court of Canada discussed the general analytical framework of s. 15(1) of the Charter - The court stated that "a person claiming a violation of s. 15(1) must first establish that, because of a distinction drawn between the claimant and others, the claimant has been denied 'equal protection' or 'equal benefit' of the law. Secondly, the claimant must show that the denial constitutes discrimination on the basis of one of the enumerated grounds listed in s. 15(1) or one analogous thereto. Before concluding that a distinction is discriminatory, some members of this court have held that it must be shown to be based on an irrelevant personal characteristic ... Under this view, s. 15(1) will not be infringed unless the distinguished personal characteristic is irrelevant to the functional values underlying the law, provided that those values are not themselves discriminatory. Others have suggested that relevance is only one factor to be considered in determining whether a distinction based on an enumerated or analogous ground is discriminatory ... In my view, in the present case the same result is reached regardless of which of these approaches is applied." - See paragraph 58.
Civil Rights - Topic 5660.4
Equality and protection of the law - The deaf - British Columbia legislation did not require funding for sign language interpreters for deaf persons receiving funded medical services - Hospitals and the Medical Services Commission, in exercising their discretion to allocate global health care funding, chose not to fund interpreters (i.e., legislation did not preclude such funding) - The Supreme Court of Canada held that the legislation did not violate equality rights (Charter, s. 15(1)) - However, the hospitals and Commission, exercising a discretion in furtherance of a specific government program, did discriminate against deaf persons - Effective communication was an indispensable part of the provision of medical services - Once the state provided the benefit (medical services), it was obligated not to discriminate against those seeking the benefit - Discrimination was based on the adverse effects of the facially neutral benefit scheme - The court cautioned that interpreters were not necessarily needed for "effective communication" in all medical situations - The decision not to fund sign language interpretation was not a reasonable limit prescribed by law under s. 1 of the Charter, because it failed the minimal impairment test.
Civil Rights - Topic 8311
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Application - Nongovernmental or private interference - The Supreme Court of Canada held that the Charter applied to private entities, such as hospitals and medical service commissions, insofar as they acted in furtherance of a specific governmental program or policy - The purpose was to preclude governments from escaping Charter scrutiny by delegating implementation of their policies and programs to private entities - The court stated that "while a hospital may be autonomous in their day-to-day operations, they act as agents for the government in providing the specific medical services set out in the Act. The Legislature, upon defining its objective as guaranteeing access to a range of medical services, cannot evade its obligations under s. 15(1) of the Charter to provide those services without discrimination by appointing hospitals to carry out that objective." - Further, where a Medical Services Commission was delegated a discretion to determine what constituted a "medically required" service, the Commission acted in a governmental capacity and was also subject to Charter scrutiny - See paragraphs 35 to 52.
