The Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC)

From 1950 to present day, Canada has been a role model and has progressed greatly by doing well for Canadians. Canada has made many efforts to develop and increase its reputation world-wide as a peaceful, just, and democratic society. During the post war period, Canada introduced the Human Rights by creating the Bill Of Rights. I will be talking about three defining moments on Human Rights during the post war that help build Canada status and make it free from discrimination, understanding Canadians, and a democratic society. Three defining moments during when the human rights was being introduced was The Canadian bill of rights, the Canadian human rights commission, and the partition of the constitution and the adoption of the Canadian Charter

The Bill of Rights also only applied to federal, rather than provincial laws. Early 1980s, Pierre Trudeau, Liberal government started to begin the process of patriating Canada's Constitution—taking it out of the hands of the British Parliament; the government also decided to include within the Constitution a new Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Along with the extensive constitutional debates, that then dominated politics for much of 1981 and 1982, there were specific concerns about the Charter: would it give courts and judges too much power to interpret its meaning, and how would it be altered once it was in place? There were also deep reservations among provincial leaders that a Charter would restrict the right of provinces to independently make
