Recommendation 22:
Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms asserts that “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.” The principles of fundamental justice are such that the substance of a decision is more likely to be fair if the procedure by which the decision was made has been just. The procedures based on the principle of administrative fairness safeguard individuals in their interactions with the state. These principles stipulate that whenever a person’s “rights, privileges or interests” are at stake, there is a duty to act in a procedurally fair manner.
