Bliss v Canada (AG) [1979] 1 S.C.R. 183 is a famous Supreme Court of Canada decision on equality rights for women under the Canadian Bill of Rights. The Court held that women were not entitled to benefits denied to them by the Unemployment Insurance Act during a certain period of pregnancy. This case has since become the prime example demonstrating the inadequacies of the Canadian Bill of Rights in upholding and protecting individuals' rights. This ruling was eventually overturned in Brooks v. Canada Safeway Ltd., [1989] 1 SCR 1219.

  • Bliss c. Canada est un arrêt important de la Cour suprême du Canada sur les droits à l'égalité des femmes en vertu de la Déclaration canadienne des droits. La Cour a estimé que les femmes n'avaient pas droit aux prestations qui leur étaient refusées par la loi sur l'assurance-chômage pendant une certaine période de grossesse. Cette affaire est depuis ce temps devenue un exemple important démontrant les insuffisances de la Déclaration canadienne des droits en ce qui concerne le respect et la protection des droits des individus.
