Explanation:

Question 1

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms' equality rights (section 15) deal with discrimination, including age - based policies like mandatory retirement. Freedom of association is about joining groups, legal rights are about arrest/detention, and freedom of expression is about communicating ideas—none relate to mandatory retirement as directly as equality rights.

To support a mandatory - retirement policy, viewpoints that justify age - based employment decisions (e.g., about workplace dynamics, business needs) would be used. Typically, Viewpoint W (supporting employer - side interests) and Viewpoint Z (perhaps about age - related workplace factors) align with enforcing such a policy. Other combinations don't fit the employer's decision - making logic as well.

Viewpoint W likely supports employer - driven policies (like mandatory retirement). Corporate management of Air Canada would support policies that benefit the company (e.g., workforce planning via mandatory retirement). A federal court judge like Anne Mactavish, in the context of the Charter, would likely rule on the legality (often against such policies due to equality rights), so she wouldn't support Viewpoint W.

Answer:

D. equality rights
