The applicant sought a declaration invalidating sections of the respondent municipality's procedural by-law, arguing they breached his Charter rights, particularly freedom of expression, by limiting his ability to communicate with elected officials.
The municipality contended the limitations were reasonable and necessary for efficient governance.
The court found that while the by-law sections technically limited the applicant's freedom of expression, they constituted reasonable limits demonstrably justified under section 1 of the Charter, as they were necessary for the orderly and efficient conduct of municipal business.
The application was dismissed.
