VCHA submits that every enactment must be given a fair, large and liberal interpretation to ensure the achievement of its objectives. It submits that section headings can be used as a guide to interpret a statutory provision and should be read and relied on like any other contextual feature as a valid indicator of legislative intent: Arts Umbrella v. British Columbia (Assessor of Area 09 - Vancouver), 2007 BCCA 45 at para. 3 and Jacob v. Laumaillet, 2010 BCSC 1229 at paras. 31-32.
