Governments are guided by the Charter in making laws. Courts are guided by the Charter in applying laws. Individuals, associations or the government can ask the courts to decide how the Charter applies to different situations.
Before the Charter, there often was little that could be done about unfair laws passed by an elected government. Sometimes there was no protection for minority rights or fundamental freedoms. Think about the difference that the Charter would have made to pre-Charter events in our histor
The Charter has brought changes to laws that discriminate against people because of personal characteristics or prejudices. With the Charter, Canadian society has a clearer recognition of human rights and freedoms, and ways to enforce these rights.
The Charter gives us tools to see that our rights and freedoms are respected by governments and laws. If a law or government action violates the Charter, we can ask a court to address this. The courts can strike down laws that violate the Charter.
