How long does it take the elected branches of government to study complex policy questions and develop legislation that respects constitutional rights? Judges often suspend for 12 months declarations that a law unjustifiably limits a right protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Dialogue theorists praise such suspensions for allowing the legislative and executive branches to act. The paper recounts the experiences of the governments of Quebec and of Canada in grappling with assisted suicide en route to legislating. It concludes that tackling a serious policy issue – including research, public education and consultation, and meaningful deliberation – may take much longer than 12 months. Consequent possible changes to judicial practice include granting fewer suspensions and prompting fuller debate in court on the appropriate order. As for dialogue theorists, they might better align their justifications of suspensions with legislative realities.

协助死亡、暂停声明和对话时间

How long does it take the elected branches of government to study complex policy questions and develop legislation that respects constitutional rights? 法官通常会暂停 12 个月的声明,即法律不合理地限制了受《加拿大权利和自由宪章》保护的权利。对话理论家称赞这种暂停允许立法和行政部门采取行动。该文件叙述了魁北克政府和加拿大政府在立法过程中应对协助自杀的经验。它的结论是,解决一个严重的政策问题——包括研究、公共教育和咨询以及有意义的审议——可能需要比 12 个月更长的时间。随之而来的司法实践可能发生的变化包括减少暂停和促使法庭就适当的命令进行更充分的辩论。
