The report references Granovsky v. Canada (Minister of Employment and Immigration) to illustrate how Canadian law aligns with the CRPD. It also explores the limitations of law in achieving justice and resolving complex social issues, highlighting that laws primarily maintain order rather than guarantee justice for all.
