The ''Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms'' (the “Charter”) is part of the ''Constitution Act, 1982'' of Canada. Sections 7 to 14 of the Charter set out rights that protect Canadians when dealing with the justice system. They ensure that individuals who are involved in proceedings are treated fairly, especially those charged with a criminal offence. These sections are where your legal rights come from: right to silence, right to a lawyer, right against unreasonable searches, etc. | The ''Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms'' (the “Charter”) is part of the ''Constitution Act, 1982'' of Canada.
