Charkaoui v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) is a pending decision of the Supreme Court of Canada on the constitutionality of security certificates. The decision is part of a trilogy which includes Almrei v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) and Harkat v. Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration).
In 2003, Adil Charkaoui, a permanent resident in Canada, was arrested under a security certificate issued by the Minister of Public Safety. The evidence upon which the decision was made was partially secret, but the evidence revealed suggested a connection with al-qaeda. Charkaoui appealed his detention but was denied by the Federal Court and Federal Court of Appeal.
The Supreme Court held a hearing on June 13, 2006.
