Cet article examine les nombreuses contradictions de la législation en matière de santé mentale au Canada et tente de discerner des moyens de réorienter le politique générale du gouvernement. Dans un premier temps, l’auteur présente un aperçu des traits principaux des lois provinciales et territoriales en santé mentale, qui s’avèrent pour la plupart coercitives. L’article examine ensuite l’échec de la Charte canadienne quant à ses promesses aux personnes atteintes de troubles mentaux. L’auteur soutient que la législation en santé mentale reste ancrée dans le modèle médical, alors que d’autres paradigmes qui font la promotion des droits humains pourraient transformer le programme législatif.This article explores several conundrums and attempts to identify ways of redirecting the Canadian ship of state. It first presents an overview of some of the salient features of the array of mainly coercive provincial and territorial mental health statutes.

Next, the author argues that extant legislation remains anchored in the medical model, when other human rights promoting paradigms transforms the statutory agenda.Este artículo examina las numerosas contradicciones de la legislación en materia de salud mental en Canadá e intenta discernir los medios para reorientar la política general del gobierno.
