In this opinion, the Québec Human Rights and Youth Rights Commission, explains that the ongoing review of government programs should not be analyzed solely on the basis of economic efficiency or fiscal opportunity. A human rights and freedoms impact assessment must be carried out at every step of the process. The government and the commission mandated to review programs must consider the principles concerning respect and promotion of human rights and freedoms. In this regard, the analytical framework that will guide the Commission de révision permanente des programmes should comply with the provisions of the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms, given that these provisions are binding and therefore apply to all government actions and decisions.
