Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Season 5, Episode 1: Charter History
Q: Could you speak to how this provision arose out of the what's known as the One Last Time Conference?
During the November 1981 federal-provincial conference, provincial approval of patriation came with a demand for a notwithstanding clause. The clause was drafted and accepted with limited discussion, and it applied to specified rights but not democratic or language rights.
Season 5, Episode 1: Charter History
Q: How were rights protected prior to the Charter?
Before the Charter, rights were protected through common law, legislation passed by Parliament and provincial legislatures, and the courts. The Canadian Bill of Rights later applied only to the federal government and received limited application from the Supreme Court.
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?
The test is rooted in originalism, looking at what was integral to the culture of peoples prior to European contact.
Season 4, Episode 6: Section 35 of the Constitution and Bill C-92 Reference
Q: Would you mind starting off with some background information about Section 35 and why it was included in the Constitution Act of 1982?
Section 35's inclusion is complicated and reflects hesitancies that Indigenous peoples had about domestication of their rights and their nation-to-nation relationship with the Crown.
S4E3: Section 12 of the Charter
Q: How does the Bissonnette case impact our understanding of Section 12?
The case emphasizes that life without parole violates Section 12, highlighting the importance of recognizing the potential for rehabilitation.
