Description

Modern mental health legislation protects the civil rights of the mentally ill by limiting the scope of permissible state interference with an individual's autonomy. It also generally sets up mental health tribunals in charge of reviewing compliance with parts of the legislation. However, the legislation does not generally address the right to adequate mental health care. The latter (or its lack thereof) has increasingly become a source of debate among scholars and policy makers. The right to adequate care is increasingly being seen as the sine qua non of the civil rights of the mentally ill. This article explores recent Canadian jurisprudence dealing with the power of administrative tribunals to address constitutional and quasi-constitutional claims, and questions whether such power could give rise to a claim for adequate health care before mental health tribunals. It argues that, subject to some limited circumstances where mental tribunals have been given certain discretion to factor adequate care into their decisions, the recent Canadian jurisprudence does not significantly modify the limited remedies available before mental health tribunals. La legislation moderne en matiere de sante mentale protege les droits civils des personnes atteintes de maladies mentales en limitant la portee de l'ingerence etatique sur leur autonomie individuelle. Cette legislation etablit egalement des tribunaux administratifs charges de faire respecter certains de ses propres elements statuaires. Toutefois, la legislation ne traite generalement pas du droit d'acces a des services de sante mentale adequat. Ce droit (ou plutot, son omission) est progressivement devenu une source de debat parmi les universitaires et les acteurs gouvernementaux. Le droit a des soins adequats est de plus en plus percu comme etant la condition sine qua non des droits civils des personnes atteintes de maladies mentales. Cet article examine la jurisprudence canadienne portant sur le pouvoir des tribunaux administratifs a statuer sur les revendications constitutionnelles et quasi constitutionnelles, et s'interroge plus particulierement a savoir si un tel pouvoir pourrait mener a une revendication devant les tribunaux administratifs en matiere d'acces aux soins de sante mentale. L'auteur maintient que, a l'exception de certaines circonstances ou les tribunaux ont pu se prevaloir de leur discretion pour prendre en compte l'acces aux soins dans le contexte de leurs decisions, la jurisprudence canadienne ne modifie pas de maniere significative les recours limites devant les tribunaux de sante mentale.
