Popis: Social welfare has increasingly been downloaded to community and faith-based organizations (FBOs). Many FBOs adhere to religious fundamentalist views that challenge the rights of equality-seeking groups and conflict with international human rights laws and the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Regulations or policies governing how FBOs provide public services are lacking or nonexistent. This article explores guidelines emanating from court decisions on the Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ interpretation of religious freedom and provides a framework through which governments may develop policy governing the delivery of faith-based public services in a manner consistent with equality rights.
