I’m curious if these policy changes would get through a Charter challenge or not. My knowledge of judicial precedence on these matters is pretty thin, but maybe there is someone out there who knows more on this?

It seems like if this policy comes from a government in any official capacity there could be a challenge based on Section 15, Section 2, and maybe even Section 7 (depending on the interpretation of “security of person” in this context). In fact, I would wager we are already crossing the line on Section 15. It really depends on what the courts see as a ‘reasonable limit’ on these matters.
