"I don't think anyone thought when the Charter was enshrined in 1982, that it was possible for any government of this country to do anything that would infringe upon the Freedoms under the Charter. But here we are today with governments right across the nation, with various health Acts and other so called emergency legislation. enacting provisions which infringe upon freedom of assembly, freedom association, security of the person, all of which are defended in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
There has been a gradual degradation of the ethical standards by which we operate as a society, and it also falls to the justice system, unfortunately. Its a legitimate question to as now, just how honest and how legitimate are the Courts of this country."
