The Supreme Court of Canada (SCC) considered whether the course infringed the right to freedom of conscience and religion under the section 2(a) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. This decision clarifies what is required to establish a violation of the right to freedom of conscience and religion. To prove an infringement, the claimant must demonstrate, on the basis of objective proof, that s\/he cannot actually practice his\/her religion or exercise his\/her beliefs.&nbsp; A claimant\u2019s mere belief that his\/her religious practices or beliefs have been infringed is not sufficient to establish an infringement.
