What is the Charter of Rights and Freedoms?

The Canadian Minister of Justice at the time the Charter was enacted, Jean Chretien, is also given substantial credit. No doubt, they were ably assisted by legal counsel and civil service staff.

Queen Elizabeth had a lot to do with the charter of rights, she had to sign the charter of rights and had to proof read it.
