"L'incrimination de l'aide au suicide" aux pp. 63-65;

    "The Sub-Committee believes that reform of the law concerning aided suicide would require amendments to provisions now contained in the Special Part of the Criminal Code.  Indeed, the proposal for reform submitted to the Sub-Committee by the Right to Die Society concentrated on an amendment to section 241 [counselling or aiding suicide] of the Code.  While the position of this group was that an amendment to section 14 of the Code [consent to death] would also be desirable, the Sub-Committee is not persuaded that this amendment would be necessary in order to accomplish the goals sought by the Right to Die Society or, even if such an amendment were necessary, that this would amount to a sufficient connection to reform of the General Part that it should make a recommendation at this time.

    As mentioned earlier in this chapter, section 14 states that one cannot consent to death 'inflicted' on oneself.  The Sub-Committee believes that in a situation where a person requests the assistance of another person in carrying out a suicide, this would not involve the 'infliction' of death.  What is contemplated is a situation where a person would be provided with the means to take his or her own life.  The death-causing act would be taken by the person himself or herself, not by the assistant.  Thus, strickly speaking, an amendment to section 14 would not be necessary to accomplish what is sought by groups advocating legal recognition of assisted suicides.  A provision along the lines of section 14 should continue to exist in the General Part and the question of assisted suicide should be addressed separately.

    Even if the issues could be resolved in the General Part, additional evidence and deliberation are required before adequate consideration can be given to the advisability of reform in this area of the law.  The Sub-Committee heard a good deal of conflicting testimony on these matters.  It is likely that many more individuals and groups would want to be heard before even preliminary decisions are taken on these issues.

    For these reasons, the Sub-Committee does not suggest amendments to the General Part to address the issue of aiding suicide.  Nevertheless, the Sub-Committee is convinced, from the level of debate and the testimony heard by it, that the issue of assisted suicide is one of pressing interest and concern to Canadians.  The Sub-Committee also believes that public policy issues of such importance should be addressed by the parliamentary process.

Recommendation Eighteen
The Sub-Committee recommends that the issues surrounding assisted suicide not be addressed in a recodified General Part of the Criminal Code." (pp. 60-61)

"Criminal Legislation

    We have judged that certain activities conflict so sharply with the values espoused by Canadians and by this Commission, and are so potentially harmful to the interests of individuals and of society, that they must be prohibited by the federal government under threat of criminal sanction.  These actions include human zygote/embryo research related to another species [184], or the maturation and fertilization of eggs from human fetuses; the sale of human eggs, sperm, zygotes, fetuses, and fetal tissues [192, 286, 287]; and advertising for or acting as an intermediary to bring about a preconception arrangement, receiving payment or any financial or commercial benefit for acting as an intermediary, and making payment for a preconception arrangement [199].

    We also recommend that unwanted medical treatment and other interferences or threatened interferences with the physical autonomy of pregnant women be recognized explicitly under the Criminal Code as criminal assault.  To ensure that medical treatment never be imposed upon a pregnant woman against her wishes, we also recommend that the criminal law, or any other law, never be used to confine or imprison a pregnant woman in the interests of her fetus, and that the conduct of a pregnant woman in relation to her fetus not be criminalized [273, 274]." (p. 1022)

---------------
"Lois pénales

    Nous avons jugé que certaines activités sont tellement contraires aux valeurs chères à la population canadienne et à
la Commission, et qu'elles peuvent nuire à un tel point aux intérêts des particuliers de la société, qu'il est impérieux que le gouvernement fédéral prononce contre elles des interdictions assorties de peines au criminel.  Au nombre de ces activités, mentionnons la recherches sur les zygotes ou embryons humains liés à l'ectogénèse, le clonage, les hybrides animaux et humains, le transfert de zygotes à d'autres espèces [184] ou de maturation et la fécondation d'ovules à partir de foetus humains: la vente d'ovules, de spermatozoïdes, de zygotes, de foetus ou de tissu foetal humains [192, 286, 287]; et la publicité et le versement ou la réception de sommes d'argent pour des contrats de maternité de substitution, la négociation de tels contrats, la participation à ceux-ci ou n'importe quel profit, financier, commercial ou autre, en découlant [199].

    Nous recommandons aussi que les traitements médicaux non voulus et les autres entraves, réelles ou possibles, à l'autonomie physique des femmes enceintes soient prévus expressément dans le Code criminel à titre de délits criminels de voie de fait.  Pour éviter qu'aucun traitement médical ne soit imposé à une femme enceinte contre sa volonté, nous recommandons également qu'on ne puisse invoquer le droit pénal ni tout autre droit pour faire interner ou emprisonner une femme enceinceinte pour le bien du foetus, et que sa conduite à l'égard du foetus qu'elle porte ne soit pas criminalisée [273, 274]."  (p. 1159)

"[Abstract]

  In the past few years there has been a tremendous amount of regulatory conflict in the area of reproductive genetics.  The Canadian government has recently released a proposal for legislating in this complex arena.  Although the proposed Bill contains many positive elements, it is argued that the use of the criminal law as a regulatory mechanism is neither warranted nor appropriate.  The author suggests a more flexible and responsive system of moratoriums and licences that would enable review and adjustment to the realities of emerging reproductive technologies is a better approach."

"Consent 'A Defence'

Where consent is a relevant issue in determining the guilt or innocence of an accused charged with a crime, it is frequently referred to as a defence.  However, where consent is material in determining the guilt or innocence of an individual, it is the absence of consent which constitutes the offence.  In those cases where consent is material, if there is consent, there is no offence, and the act or omission complained of is not culpable.  Of recent date, there has been some suggestions that where consent is material, the burden of proof should lie on the accused to prove consent.  However, because it is the absence of consent which categorizes otherwise lawful conduct as criminal, it follows, I think, in such cases that the Crown must bear the burden of proof of the absence of consent.  This is consistent with the traditional approach to criminal law where the Crown bears the burden of proving every essential ingredient of the crime alleged." (p. 252)

"Décédées à 90 minutes d'intervalle hier [à Singapour], les siamoises Ladan et Laleh Bijani [de l'Iran] avaient accepté tous les risques de l'opération visant à séparer leur tête pace qu'elles voulaient vivre chacune leur vie et pouvoir enfin se regarder dans les yeux.
[...]

    C'était la première fois qu'une équipe médicale tentait de séparer deux adultes siamois unis par la tête.  Une intervention semblable se pratique, avec 20% de succès, chez les enfants. [...]

"This paper reviews recommendations made by the Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies concerning   statutory prohibitions and offences relating to reproduction and reproductive technologies.  The recommendations are criticized on three grounds. First, the Report offers no analysis of the legislative authority that would enable Parliament to enact its recommendations. Second, it offers no consideration of principles of criminal jurisprudence that would justify the prohibitions proposed. Third, the Report fails to advance arguments or  rationales that would justify each of the specific recommendations concerning statutory prohibitions. In short, the Report fails to make a case for implementation of the Commission's recommendations with respect to statutory prohibitions because the legal aspects of those proposals are ill-developed or misconceived. A further conclusion is that the only effective legislative response to issues raised by reproductive technologies is concerted action, including regulatory measures, by Parliament and the provincial legislatures."

Abstract
"This article examines, with particular reference to the position under the Queensland Criminal Code, the extent to which a person's consent to the infliction of harm ought to prvent criminal liability atttaching to a person charged, under criminal assault provisions, with inflicting that harm.  Both common law and code authority are considered, as is the recent work of the Queensland Criminal Code Review Committee.  Four alternative models, to the prevailing Code interpretation are evaluated and a new approach, to some extent drawing upon common law doctrine, is advanced as a more persuasive guide for judicial decision making."

"La partie générale peut-elle inclure une règle sur le consentement?

    Comme nous l'avons vu, le consentement est pertinent seulement dans le cas de certaines infractions.  Lorsqu'il est pertinent, l'absence de consentement doit faire partie de la définition de l'infraction si, à défaut de consentement, le comportement n'est pas mauvais ni incriminant.  Dans les cas d'infliction de lésions à la personne, des règles spéciales doivent être adoptées dans la mesure où l'État autorise une personne à consentir à ces lésions.  En outre, pour ce qui est de l'infliction de lésions à la personne, des règles spéciales doivent également être adoptées en matière d'exercice de sports et d'interventions chirurgicales.  Par conséquent, compte tenu de cet ensemble de règles disparates, aucune règle sur le consentement ne peut être formulée dans la partie générale.

    Il a été suggéré³² que la partie générale devrait contenir une règle selon laquelle le consentement n'est pas pertinent sauf lorsqu'il est prévu dans la partie spéciale.  À mon sens, une telle déclaration ne doit pas figurer dans la partie générale, car elle confirme fondamentalement qu'il n'existe aucune règle dans la partie générale.

    Toutefois, il serait possible de prévoir, dans la partie générale, à l'article des définitions, une définition énonçant les conditions du consentement valide. [...]

"Can there be a General Part rule about consent?

    As we have seen above consent is only relevant for certain offences.  Where it is relevant, absence of consent mut be part of the defnition of the offence, whenever, without it, the conduct would not be wrongful or incriminating.  In cases of infliction of injuries to the person, special rules must exist as to the extent the State will not permit a person to consent to injuries.  Also, on the subject of infliction of injuries to the person, special rules must also exist for sports and injury.  Consequently in view of this mosaic of mini-rules, no rule about consent can be formulated in the general part.

    It has been suggested³² that possibly the general part should have a rule to the effect that consent is irrelevant except when provided for in the special part.  In my mind, such a statement is not a general part rule as it basically confirms that there is no general part rule.

    However, it would be possible to provide in the general part, in the definition section, a definition setting out the conditions of a valid consent.

"Sommaire

    La pratique du hockey exige un certain consentement implicite des joueurs vu le nombre élevé de contacts physiques qui seraient assimilables à des voies de fait hors de la patinoire.

    Ce travail examine les fondements, la portée et les limites de ce consentement implicite à travers la jurisprudence anglaise, américaine et canadienne.  Il met en évidence la dichotomie entre les motifs des jugements pénaux québécois et hors Québec, notamment quant à l'importance des règles du hockey dans la détermination de l'existence d'un consentement implicite de la victime.

    L'auteur(e) constate que l'appareil judiciaire fait preuve d'un certain laxisme à l'instar de la société en général qui accorde une immunité relative aux scènes violentes ou disgracieuses.

    À son avis, la théorie du consentement implicite se trouve étendue à un point tel qu'elle ne répond plus au sens commun le plus élémentaire." (p. 156)

    "The second distinguishing factor of this kind of assault [rape] is the essential ingredient of non-consent  (or lack of informed consent) on the part of the victim.  No other extremely serious crime is so similar to an act which, in other circumstances, is so mutually esteemed and valued -- as is the case, of course, with consensual sexual course.  In the matter of assault, other than sexual assault, the question of consent, or its absence, does not come into issue, apart from sporting events and mutually arranged personal combat.  The ingredient of non-consent is always an issue in an accusation of rape, whereas it rarely if ever is an issue in accusations of any other type of assault."

"APPENDIX A
Consent

    No provision is included in this General Part concerning consent.

    At common law no one can consent to death or grievous bodily harm. Cr.C. section 14, however, merely provides that no one is entitled to consent to have death inflicted on him.

    Is Cr.C. section 14 really necessary?  On the face of it, it might appear so, because it excludes consent as a defence to homicide.  But consent is quite irrelevant to homicide offences, which consist of causing death with certain mens rea.  In murder what is relevant is the intent to kill; in manslaughter it is the unlawful and dangerous nature of the act; in causing death by criminal negligence, it is the recklessness that accompanies the act or omission. Cr.C. section 14, then, is strickly surplusage.

    What this highlights in fact is that consent has strickly nothing to do with the General Part.  On the contrary it finds its context in the Special Part.  What this means is that in certain offences (e.g. rape, assault, theft) the act must be in invitum: the victim's non-consent is essential -- it is an element of the offence.  Accordingly, if the victim consents, the charge against the defendant is not made out.

    Equally important here is the fact that in such cases the victim's consent is not really a defence at all; it is not something which the defendant has to prove.  On the contrary, absence of consent is something which the prosecution has to prove.  This obscured by the fact that (surgical operations and sports apart) consent to violence is exceptional, that non-consent is therefore presumed and that in an ordinary case unless the defendant raises some evidence of consent, the victim's non-consent will be readily inferred.  For this reason consent tends to be regarded, quite wrongly, as a defence.

    Strictly speaking then, the right place for all rules regarding consent is in the relevant chapters of the Special Part.  The chapter on crimes of violence should specify which crimes require the victim's non-consent and which do not.  So should the chapter on offences of dishonesty.

    Even where consent is relevant, the criteria may differ from crime to crime.  In obtaining by false pretences, guilt is negatived by consent to pass the property, but not by mere consent to pass possession.  In rape, consent as a defence is vitiated only by fraudulent representation concerning the nature of the act or the identity of the rapist.  And in assault, consent as a defence is nullified by any sort of fraud.  In consequence even if consent is dealt with in the General part, repetition cannot be avoided because of the need to articulate these different criteria." (pp. 137-138)

    "Under our Code we have a special section dealing with this matter.  Section 14 provides that no one can consent to death and that such consent will not affect the killer's criminal responsibility.

    In our view no such section is required.  In the first place, the Code defines culpable homicide as quite simply causing the death of a human being.  It includes no such wording as 'without his consent' as it does in the corresponding section on assault.  In the second, there is no provision in the Code to the effect that a victim's consent is a defence in general.  Accordingly there is no general rule requiring the addition of a special exception regarding homicide.

    Under a reformed chapter of homicide provisions it is envisaged that murder, manslaughter and causing death by criminal negligence would all be defined in terms of 'causing the death of another'.  This being so, lack of the victim's consent would not be an essential requirement any more than under present law.  Accordingly, no special provision like that in section 14 would be necessary."

SECTION 3 -- Consent
    (1) Consent obtained by misrepresentation as to the character of the act or the identify of the accused is not consent for the purposes of section 1 and 2 [Sexual Interference and Sexual Aggression]

    (2) Whether or not valid consent is given by a mentally handicapped person for the purposes of section 1 is a question of fact to be determined by the trier of fact.
 

SECTION 3 -- Consent
    This section clarifies the term 'consent' used throughout the draft legislation.  The phrase 'nature and quality' now used in this context has been replaced by 'character' and 'identity'.  This terminology should avoid potential problems.  It covers conduct where the 'character' of touching is misrepresented (e.g., where an otherwise proper gynecological examination is performed for sexual or voyeuristic purposes).

    The second paragraph deals with the consent of mentally handicapped persons.  It is intended to allow sexual expression for the mentally handicapped while protecting them from improper exploitation.  These objectives, the Commission thinks, are best met by leaving the complex question of validity of consent to the trier of fact in light of all the particular circumstances."

"STUDENT ABSTRACT: Bill C-49 was enacted in the Canadian Criminal Code in 1992. For the first time in Canadian legal history this new legislation provided a definition of consent as it applies to sexual assault offences. The enactment of Bill C-49 by Parliament was clearly aimed at resolving problems that emerged within legal proceedings dealing with sexual assault. Bill C-49 was therefore enacted to govern the legal proceedings of sexual assault cases and actors of the juridical field. The courts, in turn, have adopted complex heterogeneous ways of dealing with, and managing their relations in light of, the legislative amendments of Bill C-49. Employing a feminist understanding of governance in the context of sexual assault, I argue that determinations of consent are governed by a complex assemblage of legal rationalities, expert knowledges and esponsibilization strategies employed by judicial actors in sexual assault cases. The various ways that these governing mechanisms link up and contest with one another plays an essential role in determinations of consent. More specifically, the degree to which these governing mechanisms interconnect reflects elaborate power/knowledge relations within the juridical field that arise from, but also perpetuate, normative constructions of gender and heterosexuality.  Determinations of consent therefore constitute a contested site where power is exercised through competing rationalities, knowledges and strategies of various actors within the juridical field."

“... it would appear that section 45 of the Criminal Code was intended to deal with the situation where the patient is not capable of consenting. If the patient is not capable, the person performing the operation is protected from criminal liability provided the patient’s condition necessitates surgery for the preservation of life or limb. If these conditions are met, the surgeon is protected even if the patient  resists treatment. Support for this interpretation of section 45 is obtained from editions of the [Stephen's] Digest published after the Draft Code, which state that article 67 of the Draft Code, which is now section 45 of the Criminal Code, is based on article 205 of the Digest” (pp. 5-6).

"Abstract

This paper analyses the public discourse regarding consent and sexual violence that emerged in response to the Ewanchuk ("bonnet and crinolines") case. Analyzing the debate that ensued in the editorial pages of  the National Post, I suggest that the strong response to Ewanchuk stems from the way in which participants in the debate interpreted the case  through the lens of their own personal - and gendered - experience. The reaction is also the result of a clash between the dominant cultural-sexual script of heterosexual interaction, on the one hand, - a script which celebrates masculine sexual aggression, and the consensual script encoded in Canada's "No Means No" legislation, on the other. Finally, to a public already skeptical of feminism, Ewanchuk symbolized the feminist "take-over" of the Supreme Court. I argue, as well, that the interpretation of consent embraced in the dominant cultural-sexual script represents a considerable departure from the liberal ideal of free and voluntary consent in its reliance on a notion of "inferred" consent and its Hobbesian obfuscation of coercion and consent. Ultimately, Ewanchuk reflects the persistence of so-called common sense attitudes about sexual violence in spite of legal reforms, and it raises questions about whether consent can be defined in terms that would be meaningful and emancipatory for women."
