Some provincial and territorial legislatures have developed legislation or regulations, and some professional regulatory bodies have developed policies or guidelines, to bet- ter reconcile tensions between health care professionals' conscience and patients' ac- cess to health care services. As other groups L'objection de conscience de fournir des services de soins de santd assurds est un point de controverse important au Canada, surtout en mddecine reproductive et en so- ins de fin de vie. Certains corps ldgislatifs provinciaux et territoriaux ont ddvelopd de la ldgislation ou des rdglements et certains organismes de rdglementation profession- nelle ont ddvelopd des politiques ou des lignes directrices afin de rdconcilier plus facilement les tensions entre la conscience Jocelyn Downie, MLitt, SJD, FRSC, FCAHS, University Research Professor, Faculty of Law and Faculty of Medicine, Dalhousie University. Franqoise Bay- lis, CM, ONS, PhD, FRSC, FCAHS, Professor and Canada Research Chair in Bioethics and Philosophy, Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Arts and So- cial Sciences, Dalhousie University. The authors would like to acknowledge the meticulous research assistance of Kate Scallion as well as the comments from anonymous reviewers and the editorial contributions from the staff at the McGill Journal of Law and Health. The authors have participated in various activities aimed at revising or defending existing standards for health care pro- fessionals' conscientious refusals. For example, they have made submissions to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) on their Profes- sional Obligations and Human Rights Policy and agreed to have their submis- sions referred to and attached to a CPSO affidavit in the court challenge to this policy. © Jocelyn Downie & Franqoise Baylis 2017 Citation: Jocelyn Downie & Franqoise Baylis, A Test for Freedom of Conscience under the Canadian Charter ofRights and Freedoms: Regulating and Litigating Conscientious Refusals in Health Care (2017) 11:1 McGill JL & Health S 1.
