SUMMARY:Above the Law? The proposed Better Local Government Act constitutional challenge and Premier Ford's use of the Notwithstanding Clause
DESCRIPTION:See EVENT POSTER here. \nOn September 10\, 2018 Superior Court Justice Edward Belobaba ruled that Premier Doug Ford’s Bill 5 – the so-called Better Local Government Act – to reduce Toronto’s city council from 47 wards to 25\, breached s. 2(b) of the Charter and was therefore unconstitutional. Shortly thereafter Premier Ford announced that not only was his government going to appeal the court’s decision\, but he was going to invoke the Constitution’s “notwithstanding clause” for the first time in Ontario’s history to override the judge’s decision. The revised Bill has been introduced in the legislature with debates lasting into the late night; while a stay application\, pending the appeal of the court decision\, has been scheduled for Tuesday\, September 18th.  \nThe David Asper Centre for Constitutional Rights is convening a moderated panel discussion in order to unpack the various legal issues involved in this unprecedented case. Panel members will include two of our faculty’s Constitutional Law Professors Lorraine Weinrib and Yasmin Dawood\, and litigator Steven Barrett of Goldblatt Partners LLP. \nPlease join us on Thursday September 20\, 2018 at 4:30pm-6:00pm in J250 Jackman Law Building\, for this timely event.\nEmail tal.schreier@utoronto.ca for information. \nNo Registration Required.

SUMMARY:Your Right to Know: an Access to Information Workshop for Legal Research and Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:Your Right to Know: an Access to Information Workshop for Legal Research and Advocacy\nEvery Canadian has the right to request information from federal\, provincial/territorial and municipal governments.  Access to information from our government underpins society’s most important democratic ideals\, including government accountability\, freedom of expression and press freedom.  Many organizations even characterize access to information as a fundamental human right. \nWe are convening a lunchtime panel on September 26th 2018 at 12:30 – 2:00 in J140 focused on the use of ATI (Access to Information) and FOI (Freedom of Information) requests. \nThis moderated panel will focus on the importance and uses of ATI and FOI requests\, best practices for filing ATI requests\, and limitations/challenges with the ATI regime in Canada.  A Q & A period will follow the panel. Panel members will include: \nDara Lambie\, Legal Counsel for the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario \nAlex Luscombe\, PhD student in the Centre for Criminology and Sociolegal Studies at the University of Toronto and a Junior Fellow at Massey College\, works to advance the use of FOI requests as a method of data production in the social sciences. With Prof Kevin Walby\, he has written about FOI and theory\, FOI and standards of validity/reliability\, FOI and comparative research\, and FOI and research ethics. \nMichael Power\, Toronto Lawyer and Adjunct Professor at Osgoode Hall Law School\, author of Halsbury’s Laws of Canada\, Access to Information and Privacy and Sailing in Dangerous Waters: A Director’s Guide to Data Governance. \nA light lunch will be provided. No Registration Required.  \nPlease note: A longer “hands-on” session will be held later in the year\, where law students\, faculty members and other scholars can bring their draft access to information requests or research questions for assistance. Date TBD. \nEmail tal.schreier@utoronto.ca for further information
