e Federation of Law Societies of Canada objected to lawyers'
inclusion in the scheme, on the basis that it would violate the in-
dependence of the Bar, lawyers' duty of loyalty to their clients, and
solicitor-client privilege.
e SCC struck down the provisions, noting that Parliament
could impose anti-money laundering obligations on the legal pro-
fession. e Court held that these provisions infringe s. 7 of the
Charter, as they violate counsel's duty of commitment to their cli-
ent's cause. Further, the search provisions infringe s. 8 of the Charter
as they do not adequately protect solicitor-client privilege. e in-
fringements are not justified under s. 1.
