What is the scope of a section 2(2) of the Human Rights Act, section 3(4) and section 4(5) of The Queen’s Speech to the House of Representatives on the issue of same sex discrimination?

Canada (Federal), Canada

The following excerpt is from Humber v. The Queen, 2010 TCC 253 (CanLII):

I agree with the representative that the language used in the section is extremely broad: Nowegijick v. The Queen, 1983 CanLII 18 (SCC), 83 DTC 5041 (SCC). In addition, though, the provision must be given a contextual and purposive interpretation.
