The Supreme Court of Canada examined the way that our equality principles operate under the <em>Charter<\/em>, and determined that the B.C. government had not discriminated against the autistic children by not providing treatment.&nbsp; The province did not provide treatment for <em>all <\/em>medically required services, and therefore, the province\u2019s failure to provide treatment in this case did not deny the autistic children a benefit that would be available to non-autistic children.&nbsp;The full decision is available <a href=\"http:\/\/scc.lexum.org\/en\/2004\/2004scc78\/2004scc78.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","resource-type":[10],"area-of-law":[138,224],"subject-area":[18],"grade-level":[23,24,25],"resource-audience":[],"resource-format":[],"class_list":["post-739","resource","type-resource","status-publish","hentry","resource-type-case-summaries","area-of-law-charter-law","area-of-law-health-law","subject-area-law","grade-level-grade-10","grade-level-grade-11","grade-level-grade-12"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Top Five 2005: Auton (Guardian ad litem of) v AG of British Columbia - OJEN<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Top Five 2005: Auton (Guardian ad litem of) v AG of British Columbia - OJEN\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Each year Justice Stephen Goudge of the Ontario Court of&nbsp;Appeal identifies five cases that are of significance in the&nbsp;educational setting.
