The Supreme Court of Canada famously upheld the ban a s a justifiable restriction on freedom of speech in the 1989 decision in I rwin Toy v. Quebec (Attorney General)\, chiefly because of children鈥檚 uniq ue vulnerability to advertising.\nA current private member鈥檚 bill would se ek to expand Quebec鈥檚 approach to Ontario. Further jurisdictions also look to Quebec as a model. Yet\, restrictions on food advertising to children continue to attract controversy\, with disputes over their effectiveness i n curbing diet-related illness among children\; their scope\; their flexib ility in the age of new forms of media and marketing\; and their value in relation to industry-led approaches.\nThis interdisciplinary panel will ex plore legal\, ethical\, social science and policy dimensions of restrictio ns on food advertising to children\, with a focus on the role of evidence in crafting public health policy and regulating industry practice.\nBiogra phies\nBill Jeffery is the National Coordinator of the Centre for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI)\, a non-profit health advocacy organization specializing in nutrition and food safety with offices in Ottawa\, Washing ton\, and Dallas\, Texas\, and staff in Toronto.
