The theories that I have been hearing aren't coming from the NCC, 
but from the National Action Committee on the Status of Women. 
It is their stated intention to achieve EPFWOEV, and to do so
through Charter suits if necessary. 

My interpretation of the Charter is much the same as Vince's and I
personally like the idea of having my rights written in stone ( yes,
I know that the opt-out clause means that they are more written in
sand than stone). So I, for one, will be watching with interest as
the various Charter challenges work their way thru the courts.
