It can only bread misery upon misery,\u201d Advocacy Centre for the Elderly Executive Director Graham Webb said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis law will tear people apart. Older couples who have never been apart for 50 or 60 years or more will find one spouse sent to long-term care up to 70 or 150 kilometers or more away from home.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>LEGAL FRAMEWORK<\/h3>\n<p>Benjamin Piper, who is representing the Ontario Health Coalition, said he is asking the court to declare Bill 7 as a violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe&#8217;ll ask the court district to strike that law down or at least portions of it. We will be bringing the challenge under two sections of the charter. Section 7 of the Charter protects the fundamental right to life, liberty, and security,\u201d Piper said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe the bill actually violates all three of these rights in a number of different respects.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a legal opinion obtained by CTV News Toronto, Piper expanded on this position further.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChoosing where you will live, particularly where it is tied to the choice of medical and nursing care, is basic to an individual\u2019s autonomy and dignity, the essence of the rights protected under section 7,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n<p>Since the bill specifically targets a vulnerable segment of the population, Piper goes on to say that an effort to obtain consent to move is in fact \u201ccoerced consent\u201d and therefore, not a real choice.<\/p>\n<p>Based on these facts, the Ontario Health Coalition argues that Bill 7 also \u201cinfringes the right of an ALC patient to equality\u201d under Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn any event, by forcing patients into LTC homes at great risk to their health and well-being, there is compelling argument that the harm Bill 7 will cause far outweighs any health care benefit for others and that other less restrictive solutions exist to the coercive measures adopted,\u201d Piper writes.<\/p>\n<p><em>With files from CTV News Toronto&#8217;s Siobhan Morris.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cp24.com\/news\/ontario-advocates-fight-ltc-law-posing-an-egregious-deprivation-on-seniors-rights-1.6161839\">Click here for original article<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(November 21, 2022) By: Hannah Alberga,\u00a0CTV News Paramedics take away an elderly patient at the Tendercare Living Centre, long-term-care facility during the COVID-19 pandemic in Scarborough, Ont., on Wednesday, December 23, 2020.
