DAIN o@ca.on.york_county.toronto.globe_and_mail 2008-01-03 published
His landmark commission on drugs urged legalizing marijuana in
Already a respected legal scholar, he became an improbable counterculture
icon at the height of the hippy era by recommending leniency
and the decriminalization of recreational drugs
By Noreen SHANAHAN,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S6
Toronto -- Gerald LE
DAIN's respect for civil liberties went
so far as to rouse John Lennon and Yoko Ono from their bed. It
was 1969, the year of the couple's "bed-in for peace" at the
Queen
Elizabeth
Hotel in Montreal, and the year Judge LE
DAIN
began chairing the much-referenced but largely ignored Commission
of Inquiry into the Non-Medical Use of Drugs.
The Le Dain commission's final report was one of the most politically
explosive documents ever put before the federal government. The
commission held 46 days of public hearings, received 365 submissions
and heard from 12,000 people in about 30 cities and at more than
20 university campuses across the country. In its final report,
in 1973, the commission recommended decriminalizing marijuana
possession because the law-enforcement costs of prohibition were
too great, and suggested that Canada focus on frank education
rather than harsh penalization. It also recommended treatment
for heroin addiction and sharp warnings about nicotine and alcohol.
This was delivered at a time when hysteria about the evils of
pot was on everyone's lips and many parents wanted the law to
save their drug-addled teenagers.
The report also made Judge LE
DAIN something of an unlikely counterculture
icon and helped win him a place on the Supreme Court of Canada
during the formative years of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Gerald LE DAIN was born in Montreal to Eric LE
DAIN and Antoinette
WHITHARD.
His younger brother, Bruce, went on to become one of
Canada's foremost impressionist landscape painters in the style
of A.Y. Jackson and Tom Thomson. Gerry graduated from West Hill
High School in 1942 and a year later, at 18, he joined the army
and became a gunner with the 7th Medium Regiment, Royal Canadian
Artillery, a unit that was in the thick of the fighting from
D-Day until the surrender of Germany in May of 1945.
Immediately after the war, he attended the military's ad hoc
Khaki University in England. One day, the school arranged a debate
with students of Westfield College, then a women-only college
associated with the University of London. During the event (debate
topic: a woman's place in the home,) he met Cynthia Emily
ROY
and, two weeks later, they became engaged. After being demobilized
from the army, she joined him in Montreal, where they married
and he set about finishing his education.
In 1949, he obtained a law degree from McGill University and
was called to the Quebec bar. He spent the following year at
a university in Lyons, where he gained his doctorate. On his
return from France, he joined the Montreal law firm of Walker,
Martineau, Chauvin, Walker and Allison and stayed three years until
he returned to McGill as a professor of constitutional and administrative
law. He also worked as counsel to Quebec's attorney-general on
constitutional cases.
In 1967, he left Montreal to become dean of Osgoode Hall Law
School, where, said colleague Harry Arthurs, he presided over
a revolution in Canadian legal education. "It was his responsibility
to persuade York University, the Law Society of Upper Canada,
and the world at large, that what we were doing was not only
the legitimate - not only the sensible - but the inevitable way
forward." It was during this time that Pierre Trudeau asked Judge
LE DAIN to chair the commission. He was, at 44, perfectly suited
to the job in many ways. By then, many young Canadians were indulging
in marijuana and other recreational drugs; as a university professor,
he was surrounded by many students who had at least given it
a try. And as the father of a large family, he was adept at bridging
the generation gap and responding empathetically. During the
time he chaired the commission, there were four full-fledged
teenagers, and one on the cusp, living in the LE
DAIN home.
The commissioners were asked to study the non-medical use of
sedative, stimulant, tranquillizing, hallucinogenic and other
psychotropic drugs or substances, including the experience of
users. At his first news conference in 1969, he announced that,
in the interest of research, he might experiment with the stuff
himself.
"We made it possible to talk about drugs openly," he later said
in an interview with The Globe and Mail. "In some of our early
hearings, especially in smaller communities, you could feel the
guilt that had been stored up around drugs. We also made it possible
for people to criticize their institutions, to challenge their
doctors, their school boards, their churches."
The Le Dain commission broke new ground in terms of taking the
show on the road, said Mel
GREEN, who worked as a sociologist
with Judge LE
DAIN at the time. Judge LE
DAIN redefined the nature
of a public inquiry by asking the public to directly participate,
he said. "The commission found little traction in terms of changes
in the law itself. … There was a cultural divide between conventional
attitudes and youth culture and I think the Le Dain commission
helped bridge that gap." Inspired by Judge LE
DAIN,
Mr.
GREEN
decided to switch careers and went to law school. He is now an
Ontario provincial court judge.
By early 1969, John Lennon and Yoko Ono had created a stir with
their public "bed-in" at a hotel in Amsterdam. On May 26, the
couple booked into Room 1742 at the Queen Elizabeth in Montreal.
To Judge LE
DAIN, they seemed to be just the kind of advocates
for youth the commission should hear from. A meeting was arranged
aboard a C.N. train in Montreal and, for 90 minutes, the couple
shared their views on the drug culture and the generation gap.
"This is the opportunity for Canada to lead the world," said
Mr. Lennon, referring to the Le Dain commission. "Canada's image
is just about getting groovy, you know." When it was over, Mr. Lennon
gave his phone number to members of the commission.
It was not always such clear sailing. Commissioners also had
to contend with a kind of "live bait" issue, where police were
arresting young people who braved the generational divide to
attend these public gatherings and tell their stories. In 1969,
the 16-year-old
son of communications theorist Marshall
McLUHAN
was arrested as he was leaving a coffee shop in Yorkville, Toronto's
then-hippy neighbourhood, where the commission was meeting. Michael
McLUHAN was convicted of criminal possession of a small amount
of hashish and sentenced to 60 days in jail; he ended up serving
30 days and was eventually pardoned.
Marie-Andrée Bertrand, one of the Le Dain commissioners, remembers
those days and the difficulties in protecting witnesses. "Some
of us went to [then-solicitor-general Pierre] Goyer and we said,
'Call off your gendarmes, monsieur!' and went to Trudeau, and
it was slightly more calm after that," she told the Ottawa Citizen
in 2003. "Imagine if Monsieur Lennon had been arrested or harassed.
What a humiliation that would have been for all of us."
Although the commission's recommendations were never followed,
there were significant changes in the public attitude toward
drugs and in lighter sentences being handed down to offenders.
At a time when the generation gap was described as a gulf, Judge
LE DAIN had gained the respect of both sides of the drug-use
argument. In a 1988 Globe and Mail column, Michael
VALPY described
him as a quiet, intellectual, spiritually minded academic who
earned the praise of young people, the social agencies and the
scientific community. "His commission acquired the reputation
of being the most hard-working, open-minded and widely respected
ever to tackle a major national problem."
In 1975, Judge LE
DAIN was appointed to the Federal Court of
Appeal and the Court Martial Appeal Court. He remained there
until May of 1984, when Mr. Trudeau appointed him to the Supreme
Court.
His tenure at the court during the early years of the Charter
proved to be, in some ways, a trial by fire not only for him
but for the other eight justices as well. A 1988 Globe and Mail
article described a series of crises that nearly exhausted the
court as a result of a backlog of Charter cases. At the time,
it was referred to by political scientist Peter Russell as "A
terrible rash of injuries" similar to the kind experienced by
beleaguered players on a hockey team.
Not surprisingly, Judge LE
DAIN was one of the members of the
court who struggled most during this time. As a result, he stayed
only five years before an emotional breakdown brought about his
retirement in 1988. Even so, he left his mark on Charter decisions.
One example was the case of R. v. Therens (1985). The issue was
whether a drunk driver could evade conviction on the grounds
that police had violated his Charter rights by not informing
him of his right to call a lawyer before compelling him to take
a breathalyzer test. Judge LE
DAIN's former law clerk, Bruce
RYDER, recalls that he struggled painfully over the case - partly
because it recalled the death of his daughter Jacqueline a decade
earlier from an automobile accident.
"As he spoke, he was pounding himself so hard in the chest I
thought he might knock himself over. He took a deep breath, and
we returned to our work." In the end, Judge LE
DAIN crafted an
opinion that did right by the victims of highway accidents and
by the Charter. In memorable language, he affirmed that the enactment
of the Charter signalled a new era in the protection of fundamental
rights and freedoms.
"Out of complexity and nuance, he produced masterfully succinct
statements of the law," said Mr.
RYDER.
In his retirement, Judge LE
DAIN worked on a range of projects,
including preparing his papers for the national archives and
meticulously crafting his memoirs. But his early retirement continued
to be plagued by personal tragedy: first with his wife Cynthia's
death in 1995 of cancer, then his daughter Catherine's death
of pneumonia in 1998.
In 1990, the U.S. Drug Policy Alliance instituted an award in
Gerald LE DAIN's name, to be given to individuals involved in
law who have worked within official institutions "when extremist
pressures dominate government policies." The influential organization
includes law-enforcement officials, academics, professionals,
health-care workers, drug users and former users. "We sought
to name the awards after our heroes," said founder Arnold Trebach.
"Gerald LE
DAIN was certainly one of them. Few people realize
the level of hate directed at drug users and drug policy reformers
decades ago."
Judge LE DAIN, the first Canadian to be so honoured, had earlier
been made a companion of the Order of Canada.
Gerald Eric LE
DAIN was born on November 27, 1924, in Montreal.
He died in his sleep at home on December 18, 2007. He was 83.
He is survived by his son Eric and daughters Barbara, Jennifer
and Caroline. He was predeceased by his wife, Cynthia, and by
daughters Jacqueline and Catherine.
Correction - Friday, January 4, 2007
The majority of the Le Dain Commission on the non-medical use
of drugs recommended in 1973 that possession of cannabis should
cease to be a criminal offence but that sale and distribution
of cannabis should remain a crime. Incorrect information appeared
in a headline in yesterday's paper.
