Looking for solutions: Symposium on the Reference re Assisted Human Reproduction Act

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

In the Reference re Assisted Human Reproduction Act (2010 SCC 61), the Supreme Court of Canada issued a divided 4-4-1 opinion that declared several provisions of the federal Assisted Human Reproduction Act ("AHRA") ultra vires. As a result, many core provisions of the AHRA were declared unconstitutional, particularly those related to the introduction of a federal licensing and control system. Other provisions, for example those related to the federal government's power to regulate the reimbursement of expenses for surrogacy or gamete donation, remain intact.
