The following statement was issued by Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training, in response to the decisions regarding the Law Society of British Columbia vs. Trinity Western University, and Trinity Western University vs. Law Society of Upper Canada, released Friday, June 15, 2018, by the Supreme Court of Canada:

“Government has been following this case as it worked its way through the courts. The decisions just came down, and we will be taking the time to carefully review the rulings, but it appears consistent with our government’s values. Our government continues to work to build a just and inclusive province where all feel welcome, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion or background.”
