Good afternoon Chief Justice, Justices.

The Joint Intervenors Evangelical Fellowship of Canada and the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities key concern in this case is preserving the autonomy of religious associations to make purely religious decisions as affirmed by this court in Wall and Agha.

to that end i will make two points first compelled disclosure of confidential purely religious decisions contrary to religious conviction has a severe impact on religious groups and second restraint toward purely religious decisions is well established this case simply raises a new context First, compelled disclosure of confidential, purely religious decisions to a state official is a severe infringement on religious freedom and autonomy and is markedly different from Hutterian Brethren, with a negative impact related to a wish to obtain driver's licenses.
