The Supreme Court of Canada ruled Wednesday that provinces have the right to regulate in-vitro fertilization and some other forms of assisted human reproduction.
The top court ruled on contentious portions of the federal Assisted Human Reproduction Act, which the Quebec government successfully argued infringes on provincial jurisdiction.
The split decision allows provinces to regulate health aspects of fertility clinics.
The ruling upholds parts of a 2008 Quebec Court of Appeal decision that said Ottawa had overstepped in asserting control over assisted reproduction.
