Quebec Act
A few years later Parliament passed the Quebec Act of 1774, granting emancipation for the Catholic, French-speaking settlers of the province. The act repealed the loyalty oath and reinstated French civil law in combination with British criminal law.
-it has to do with collective rights because it granted emancipation for the Catholic, French-speaking settlers of the province.
-Also has to do with individual rights because everyone has the rights to one's own language. -
Manitoba Act
The Manitoba Act is connected to the constitution but not directly to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The 1870 Manitoba Act was a constitutional statute that created the Province of Manitoba.
-It is a part of both a collective and individuals. It is collective because the act gave the Métis what they were wanting.
-It is also individual because it has to do with people of Manitoba. -
Manitoba Schools Act
Not just in Manitoba, but in all of Canada, all students have the rights to an education. It's the parent's responsibility to make sure children get enrolled in and attend school.
- It goes along with our individual right to have an education.
-It also has to do with collective rights because one of the things the Métis wanted was a confessional education which they can get. -
Suffragettes
The Suffragettes were a group of women fighting for the right to be able to vote. Not being able to vote violates Section 3 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms which is a section that constitutionally guarantees Canadian citizens the democratic right to vote.
-Applies to them as a group but the charter doesn't recognise them as a collective group
- Also applies to them as an individual with the right to vote. -

-They also have the collective rights to land claims and consltation. -
Official Languages Act
If French or English-speaking minorities gather as a group in any province, they have the right to publicly fund schools that serve their language community. Anglophone businesses seek the right to use English on signs.
-The rights are collective because they apply to Francophones
-They have the right to their own language. -
Charter of Rights and Freedoms
This is connected to the constitution because the Charter of Rights and Freedoms is built into our constitution. There is no way of taking it out or ignoring it.
- The charter applies to you as an individual because the rights are yours.
-The charter also helps to protect you as an individual. -
Lord's Day Act
This Act connects to the constitution in Section 2 a) which states everyone has the following fundamental freedom, freedom of conscience and religion. This act goes against that freedom.
- This act applies to each person as an individual because of the freedoms of conscience.
-The act also goes against our individual right, freedom of religion. -
Emergency Act
This act connects to the constitution in section 1 of the Canadian charter of Rights and Freedoms which states The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society. The emergency act restricts our rights and freedoms.
-It restricts us as individuals because it restricts freedom of expression
- It also restricts freedom of mobility. -
No Fly List
The No Fly List violates rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. These are the right to be treated equally under the law, mobility rights and right to due respect. It also follows the charter which says it guarantees the rights and freedoms only to people who follow the law.- The no fly list violates our individual rights to be treated equally, it also affects our mobility rights and our right to due respect.
- So it affects our individual rights but it also follows section 1.
