Aujourd'hui, le Canada marque le Jour de l'émancipation. En ce jour, en 1834, la Slavery Abolition Act (Loi sur l'abolition de l'esclavage) entrait en vigueur et abolissait officiellement l'esclavage dans la plus grande partie de l'Empire britannique, y compris dans ce qui deviendra le Canada.
Le Jour de l'émancipation est l'occasion pour nous de réfléchir à notre histoire et de redoubler d'efforts pour éliminer les éléments persistants du racisme qui sont toujours ancrés dans nos institutions. En tant que juristes, la primauté du droit touche le cœur de nos actions et de nos décisions. Le principe de la primauté du droit exige que la justice soit administrée sans préjugés et que l'égalité en vertu de la loi demeure sans compromis et inviolable. Le Jour de l'émancipation sert de rappel vital que notre travail visant à faire respecter ces principes n'est jamais vraiment achevé. C'est un encouragement à poursuivre l'examen attentif de nos lois et de nos pratiques, en veillant à ce qu'elles servent d'instruments de justice et d'égalité pour tous.

08/01/2024

Today marks Emancipation Day in Canada. On this day in 1834, the Slavery Abolition Act came into effect, officially abolishing slavery in most of the British Empire, including what is now Canada. Emancipation Day is an opportunity for each of us to reflect on our nation's history and to redouble our efforts in rooting out the lingering elements of racism in our institutions. As legal professionals, we draw upon the principles of the rule of law to guide our actions and decisions. The rule of law demands that justice is administered without prejudice and that equality under the law is uncompromised and unassailable. Emancipation Day is a vital reminder that our work in upholding these principles is never truly complete. It encourages us to scrutinize our laws and practices, ensuring that they serve as vehicles for justice and equality for all.
