Season 4, Episode 6: Section 35 of the Constitution and Bill C-92 Reference
Q: Can you explain what the test is that the courts use to recognize aboriginal rights in litigation?

Q: Would you mind starting off with some background information about Section 35 and why it was included in the Constitution Act of 1982?

The case emphasizes that life without parole violates Section 12, highlighting the importance of recognizing the potential for rehabilitation.

Q: Can you give us an overview of the kinds of remedies that are available?
Key remedies include Section 52 of the Constitution Act, Section 24.1, and Section 24.2 of the Charter that can lead to declarations of unconstitutional laws or the exclusion of evidence that was obtained improperly.
