He alleged that provisions governing reimbursement for out‑of‑province care and the actions or omissions of the provincial defendants infringed his rights under s. 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter). The claim asserted that the statutory regime and its application interfered with his ability to access timely medical care and make decisions about his health. The respondents applied to strike the claim, arguing that it sought to impose a positive obligation on the government to fund medical treatment and that no facts were pleaded establishing a deprivation of life, liberty, or security of the person. The judge agreed and struck the claim without leave to amend. On appeal, the appellant argued that the judge erred in concluding that the claim disclosed no reasonable cause of action, improperly relied on inapplicable authorities, and failed to recognize that legislative gaps and the absence of procedural mechanisms constituted a Charter breach. The issue was whether it was plain and obvious that the pleadings disclosed no reasonable claim under s. 7 of the Charter....
