TOPICS


Bill of Rights (Canadian)


BACKGROUND

The 1960 Canadian Bill of Rights is a bit of an historical anomaly, being a pre-Charter federal statute which has been practically and legally transcended by the 1982 Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (the 'Charter'). The Charter is a part of the Canadian constitution, and so can override provincial and federal statutes (and municipal by-laws) which it has done hundreds of times. That said, political conservatives tend to be nostalgic regarding the Bill of Rights as it provides token coverage regarding the "enjoyment of property", which is lacking in the Charter.
