In what could be one of its most controversial working papers the commission said this property sharing is a step toward the necessary creation of Legal Equality of married persons. The paper condemns the present system of separate property in Force in most of Canada As contradictory irrational and discriminatory mainly against women but also against men. 1l Calls for a new system which would acknowledge that each spouse makes an equal contribution to the family for tunes whether at Home or in the office and that each should share in the property when the marriage ends. This Reform was necessary not Only for reasons of divorce but also for reasons of strengthening the institution of marriage. Hit s Irish she is.

It notes that Only Quebec British Columbia and the Northwest territories have taken action to end discrimination in marriage and that the Ontario Law Reform com Mission has proposed it. To overcome the situation the commission makes three proposals but says these Are not the Only action that could be taken discretionary this would give the courts the Power to Transfer property from one spouse to the other in divorce proceedings. The system now is in use in . And the North West territories. Community of property rms band and wife would be co owners of All property acquired during a marriage and the common property would be divided equally upon Termina Tion. The system is in use in Quebec As an alternative to the separate property system. Deferred sharing upon divorce the spouse with less property would have the right of equalization. The spouse with the larger amount of property acquired dining a cancer test for babies predicted Vancouver up cancer researchers at univer sity of British Columbia think the time May come when All babies will be screened to de Termine whether they Are Likely to have cancer in later life. The researchers have been studying a possible connection Between genetic abnormalities and High cancer risk. We Hope to have something sufficiently definite within a year to present a report to the Federal health Protection said or. H. D. Stitch a member of ubic s cancer re search Centre. He said it appears that peo ple with genetic abnormalities Are less Able on the level of their cells to Ward off the effects of cancer. Therefore by proper screening it should be possible to determine those of High or Low risk. The research was started four years ago with studies on mice and the first study with human tissue began about two years ago. D r. Stitch explained that human tissue from patients with known genetic abnormal ties is placed in an Environ ment As close As possible to conditions existing in Urban society. If a mass screening project were instituted for Newborn children parents would be aware of their children s risk factors and which substances the children should avoid to Lessen the risk.

Marriage would Transfer either property or the monetary equivalent to the other. The working paper acknowledges that switching to a sys Tern of property Equality would be hampered by such things As maintenance payments to women. It foresees a period of Transi Tion being necessary. But it suggests there be a change in thinking of women who today might get maintenance pay ments and tomorrow might get half the property of a marriage. The paper says it is talking of More than just divorce or other termination of marriage. Marriage is an economic emotional and cultural partnership. The family unit is the most important institution of our society our is not to make divorce a More attractive Prospect but rather to strengthen existing marriages by propos ing certain alterations of Legal Structure that we identity As harmful to this end and to provide a Legal framework that will enable canadians to construct better marriages in the it says that under the Sepa rate property system the Hus band is bound to acquire More property than the wife. What the husband purchased was his and what the wife purchased was hers. But in Oday s discriminatory world Here was Little Chance for the wife to earn As much As the husband. The wife was even a poor credit risk when com Jared to her unmarried Sisters or husband. At the same time most wives stayed Home to look after the family earning nothing. The paper says the system discriminates against wives and against husbands who arc forced by the circumstances created by the system to be the main family income Tarnoi but who1 would rather stay Home. The Lack of True economic Opportunity for women in can Ada is a notorious and unfortunate the paper says. This is in turn reflected in and accounts in part for the fact that Many married women Are in an inferior position to their husbands in the matter of ownership of properly the fact is that in the great majority of marriages the spouses assume equivalent though different duties equally taxing to each and of equal importance to tie the paper says the present system robs individuals of human dignity and that it is time for the Law to switch from the sterile inquiry of who bought what when to what is fair in the context of Tho family unit. The paper mentions the supreme court Case in which the wife sought an interest in the ranch. It says the court Dis missed the wife s contribution to the work and management of the ranch As being Only what is expected of an Ordi nary ranch wife. When the Law requires such results then nothing could be More apparent than the fact the such jaw is no longer Toler Able in a society that professes its Laws to be both humane and the paper says.
