The Court held that the standards for elaborating the plans prescribed by section IX were lower, the effect of which was to create or maintain inequality with respect to the female workers affected, contrary to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
法院认定，制订第九条规定的计划的标准较低，其效果是产生或维持了女工受到的不平等，违背了《加拿大权利与自由宪章》。
