Statutory Interpretation - Modern Principle - "Text"

. Grenon v. Canada

In Grenon v. Canada (Fed CA, 2025) the Federal Court of Appeal considered the 'text' element of the modern statutory interpretation test of 'text, context, purpose':
(a) Text

[138] The Supreme Court of Canada recently reminded us that "“[t]he starting point in any interpretive exercise is the text of the provision”" and that "“[i]n the absence of statutory definitions, what should be focused on is the grammatical and ordinary meaning of the text, that is, ‘the natural meaning’ that appears when the provision is simply read through as a whole”": Québec (Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse) v. Directrice de la protection de la jeunesse du CISSS A, 2024 SCC 43, 498 D.L.R. (4th) 316 at paras. 23, 28 [CISSS A].
