Canadian Bill of Rights

The Canadian Bill of Rights is a federal law enacted in 1960 that outlines the rights and freedoms of individuals in Canada. It guarantees fundamental rights such as freedom of speech, assembly, and religion, as well as the right to a fair trial. Although it primarily applies to federal laws and actions, it serves as a key reference point for the protection of civil liberties in Canada. This document plays a crucial role in promoting respect for human rights and encouraging the development of further legal protections at both federal and provincial levels.
