Abstract:The Supreme Court of Canada concluded in its 2012 judgment in Doré that the rational connection test and the less restrictive means inquiry from the Oakes analysis are not useful when assessing the justifiability of administrative decisions limiting Charter rights. The Court instead articulated a 'robust' conception of proportionality that requires administrative decision makers to demonstrate only that any rights limitations that their decisions impose are proportionate 'in the strict sense.' This article argues that Charter values should be understood as part of a normative hierarchy of 'justificatory resources' to which administrative decision makers can refer in justifying rights-limiting decisions as proportionate in the strict sense. It argues further that the robust, reasons-first conception of reasonableness that the Court described in Vavilov affirms Doré's logical architecture, marking a shift in Canadian jurisprudence toward a 'culture of justification.' In adopting the same approach to constitutional decisions affecting Charter rights and administrative decisions that do not engage the Charter, Doré and Vavilov construct a unified model of public law in which all public decisions must be shown to be justified by their congruence with a hierarchy of norms which has Charter values at its apex. In this unified model of public law, in which a robust conception of reasonableness is central, it is not clear what room, or need, is left for correctness review.

公法的统一模式:加拿大的宪章价值观和合理性审查

摘要:加拿大最高法院在其 2012 年的 Doré 判决中得出结论,在评估限制宪章权利的行政决定的正当性时,理性联系测试和来自 Oakes 分析的限制较少的手段调查没有用处。相反,法院阐明了一个“稳健”的相称性概念,要求行政决策者仅证明他们的决定施加的任何权利限制在“严格意义上”是相称的。本文认为,宪章价值观应该被理解为“正当资源”的规范层次结构的一部分,行政决策者在证明严格意义上的相称的权利限制决定时可以参考这些资源。它进一步认为,稳健的,法院在 Vavilov 案中所描述的理性第一概念肯定了 Doré 的逻辑架构,标志着加拿大法理学向“正当性文化”的转变。在对影响宪章权利的宪法决定和不涉及宪章的行政决定采用相同的方法时,多雷和瓦维洛夫构建了一个统一的公法模型,在该模型中,所有公共决定都必须通过与规范等级制度的一致性来证明是合理的它具有最高的宪章价值观。在这种以稳健的合理性概念为核心的统一公法模型中,尚不清楚为正确性审查留出的空间或需求。称义的文化。在对影响宪章权利的宪法决定和不涉及宪章的行政决定采用相同的方法时,多雷和瓦维洛夫构建了一个统一的公法模型,在该模型中,所有公共决定都必须通过与规范等级制度的一致性来证明是合理的它具有最高的宪章价值观。在这种以稳健的合理性概念为核心的统一公法模型中,尚不清楚为正确性审查留出的空间或需求。称义的文化。在对影响宪章权利的宪法决定和不涉及宪章的行政决定采用相同的方法时,多雷和瓦维洛夫构建了一个统一的公法模型,在该模型中,所有公共决定都必须通过与规范等级制度的一致性来证明是合理的它具有最高的宪章价值观。在这种以稳健的合理性概念为核心的统一公法模型中,尚不清楚为正确性审查留出的空间或需求。Doré 和 Vavilov 构建了一个统一的公法模型,在该模型中,所有公共决定都必须通过与以宪章价值观为顶点的规范等级制度相一致来证明是合理的。在这种以稳健的合理性概念为核心的统一公法模型中,尚不清楚为正确性审查留出的空间或需求。Doré 和 Vavilov 构建了一个统一的公法模型,在该模型中,所有公共决定都必须通过与以宪章价值观为顶点的规范等级制度相一致来证明是合理的。在这种以稳健的合理性概念为核心的统一公法模型中,尚不清楚为正确性审查留出的空间或需求。
