Supreme Court of Canada says “NO GENOCIDE IN SRI LANKA”
The Supreme Court does not further inquire about Tamil genocide in Sri Lanka, and the Bill 104 Tamil Genocide Education Week Act (TGEWA) is not within provincial Jurisdiction Education under Canada’s Constitution Act s. 93
The Supreme Court of Canada confirmed the Ontario Court of Appeal’s decision, and no further inquiries were required. The decision was released on March 27, 2025.
Both the Superior Court of Justice and Appeal Court of Ontario have not determined Tamil genocide. Supreme Court of Canada will not further inquire about Tamil genocide as such Appeal court decision will stand.
Tamil terrorist group, LTTE, remained as a Terrorist organization in Canada.
Dr. Neville Hewage successfully argued against Justice Akbarali’s decision at the Ontario Appeal Court. The Appeal Court of Ontario found that Bill 104 has no educational purposes.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario delivered its landmark ruling, dismissing Justice Akbarali’s decision of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice regarding Bill 104, the Tamil Genocide Education Week Act (TGEWA).
The Appeal Court concluded that TGEWA is not within the provincial jurisdiction as outlined in the Constitution Act , 1867, s. 93 Education.
Paragraph (9) of the decision states […] we disagree with her (Justice Akbarali’s) characterization of the Act (TGEWA) as “educative.”
Further analysis of the Appeal Court concluded in Paragraph (54): “In our view, the application judge erred in characterizing the TGEWA’s pith and substance. She failed to keep the characterization and classification of the analysis distinct and to characterize the law with sufficient precision [instead …].
Most importantly, in Paragraph 76, the Appeal Court rejected the Ontario Attorney General’s argument. The Court states: We also reject Ontario’s submission that the dominant purpose of the TGEWA is simply to educate the public about genocide.
This is a landmark victory for academics and educators in universities, colleges, and school boards.
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) is a Tamil Terrorist group fighting against Sri Lanka to create a mono-ethnic state in the Northern and Eastern parts of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka’s military defeated the Tamil terrorist group on May 18, 2009, by eliminating its leader and its senior cadre.
Since then, all ethnic groups in Sri Lanka have been living in peace and harmony.
Bill 104 cannot be used for the purpose of education in Ontario. It can be used for self-awareness and commemorative purposes only.
