                             “The Canadian Supreme Court in Egan v. Canada came within one vote

                             of ruling that discrimination against a same-sex couple was

                             unconstitutional under section 15(1) of the Charter.  These two men

                             had lived as a couple for 46 years and one could still not receive a

                             spouse’s allowance after the other turned 65.  The judges who found for

                             and against discrimination used different reasons for finding that

                             sexual preference was an ‘analogous ground’ according to section

                             15(1) of the Charter.  The court also held by a slim majority that

                             discrimination under Section 15(1) of the Charter could be

                             temporarily justified under Section 1” – from LegalTrac index entry.
