The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has ruled that Parliamentary security violated an organization’s Charter rights by prohibiting it from displaying anti-abortion signs depicting aborted fetuses at a 2023 event on Parliament Hill.

The court found on June 11 that the security’s decision infringed on Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) members’ freedom of expression under section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and was not justified under section 1 of the Charter.
