We believe that the Convention and the Supreme Court of Canada's decisions in Meiorin and Grismer offer different articulations of the same big idea -- that accommodation, properly understood, mandates genuine inclusiveness. Our question in this paper is: is the jurisprudence of tribunals and courts helping us to fulfill that promise?"
