Litigation Year in Review 2016

This Litigation Year in Review 2016 is intended to provide
Canadians with some highlights of the progress we made
this past year in several important areas of litigation.
In reviewing and rethinking the Government’s litigation
strategy over the course of 2016, I focused on three main
themes: respecting the Charter of Rights and Freedoms,
recognizing the rights of Indigenous peoples, and making
decisions consistent with Canadian values. The important litigation positions highlighted below were taken in collaboration with the Minister with policy responsibility for the matter before the courts.
