Summary: Who the Charter applies to


     Different parts of the Charter have different limitations.  However,
the part that has been dicussed in this series of messages applies
to " ... every individual ... " and as such should have the widest possible
scope.  The courts will have the joy of hearing long winded arguments on
this point as situations arise.  I would expect that it applies to foreign
students, but the nature of "discrimination" has always been a problem.
There are arguments which I won't go into.  An example of a valid argument
(which may or may not apply) is whether the effect of the law is to create
a penalty or confer a benefit.  If it's a benefit, then is it also correcting
a problem which the we recognize?  Fun stuff if you like arguments like that.

Cheers! -- Jim O.
