Résumé
Dans cet article, l’auteur répertorie certaines perspectives prometteuses de l’évolution des lois en matière de santé mentale et présente des façons d’évaluer l’état et les progrès de la législation, s’inspirant des organismes internationaux et des efforts concluants d’autres pays. Il examine des facteurs qui pourraient contribuer à l’évolution de ces lois au Canada et conclut qu’il y a des manières cohérentes de changer de direction, bien que, dans ce domaine législatif piégé, personne ne saurait formuler de prédiction fiable.
Abstract
In this article, some hopeful outlooks on the evolution of the law are identified and ways of assessing the state and progress of legislation are advanced, drawing from international organizations and some inspiring efforts in other countries. Potential contributors to the evolution of Canadian mental health law are surveyed. The author concludes that there are coherent ways of changing tack, although in this fraught legislative field, no one can make confident predictions about the future.
