The abstract of the webinar is that with reference to the Court of Appeal for Ontario’s ruling, the Ontario Provincial Parliament did not declare the alleged Tamil genocide that took place in Sri Lanka by enacting the Tamil Genocide Education Week Act (TGEWA). Otherwise, Ontario did not recognize the Tamil genocide. It also decided that the purpose of TGEWA is not educational. Therefore, so-called alleged Tamil genocide cannot be included in the Ontario’s school curriculum.

Abstract With reference to Court of Appeal for Ontario’s ruling, Ontario Provincial Parliament did not declare alleged Tamil genocide that took place in Sri Lanka by enacting Tamil Genocide Education Week Act (TGEWA).
Otherwise, Ontario did not recognize Tamil genocide.
It also decided that purpose of TGEWA is not educational.
Therefore, so called alleged Tamil genocide cannot be included in the school curriculum.
Also, appeal court pronounced purpose of TGEWA is within local and private nature which provides the province to pass legislations such as commemorative nature.
TGEWA is a valid legislation in Ontario allowing Ontario Tamils to commemorate their losses during civil war and support healing and reconciliation effort.
It also allowed Tamils to express their opinion about last phase of the civil war.
Supreme Court Canada will not further inquire about the TGEWA and its claims of alleged Tamil genocide. (Leave to appeal dismissed, since the “public importance test” is not satisfied, i.e., it does not require the Court to resolve conflicting decisions from courts of appeal) Please refer to https://www.scc-csc.ca/parties/self-rep-non-rep/applying-demande/
As such Appeal Court for Ontario decision will stand Freedom of Expression under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms ensures that all Canadians, including Ontario Tamils, have the right to express their views and share their experiences.
This includes the freedom to commemorate their losses, engage in healing and reconciliation efforts, and speak openly about the armed conflict in Sri Lanka.
Given that these freedoms are already protected by the Charter, the enactment of the TGEWA may be viewed as unnecessary or redundant.
The enactment of the TGEWA appears to be aimed at influencing Canada’s asylum system in favour of Tamil applicants.
