Supreme Court to rule on constitutionality of genetic non-discrimination law | CBC News
Canada’s highest court will issue a ruling today that could strike down a federal law preventing third parties, such as employers and insurance companies, from demanding genetic information from individuals.
The Supreme Court of Canada will decide whether the Genetic Non-Discrimination Act is an unconstitutional exercise of federal powers.
In a curious twist, the federal government itself has argued the legislation falls outside of federal jurisdiction.
