Lawyer for Christian University That Won Court Challenge of Summer Jobs Program Says Issue ‘Of Concern to Everybody’
A lawyer representing a Christian university in a case against Ottawa regarding its student hiring program says everyone should be concerned when government funds are conditional on adherence to state-imposed ideas.
“It’s about whether or not the government can dictate what people believe, and what beliefs are appropriate and what beliefs are not,” Albertos Polizogopoulos, a lawyer for Hamilton-based Redeemer University, told The Epoch Times.
“It ought to be of concern to everybody.”
On June 29, Federal Court Justice Richard Mosley ruled that the federal government breached its “procedural fairness” obligation when it denied Redeemer University’s 2019 application for the Canada Summer Jobs (CSJ) program without giving Redeemer the chance to provide evidence that its beliefs did not result in discriminatory practices.
