query: What was Cory J's analysis of section 15 in Egan v. Canada?
answer: Cory J argued that the law defining 'spouse' in the Old Age Security Act was not facially neutral, drawing a clear distinction between opposite-sex and same-sex couples.  He asserted that this distinction, based on sexual orientation, was discriminatory under section 15 of the Charter without needing to prove irrelevance to the legislation's objective. He highlighted that only homosexual individuals would form same-sex couples, directly linking the distinction to sexual orientation.
