The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, enacted in 1982 as part of the Constitution, guarantees fundamental rights to everyone in Canada. These include freedom of expression, religion, peaceful assembly, and association; democratic rights including the right to vote; mobility rights to move and work anywhere in Canada; legal rights including due process and protection against unreasonable search; equality rights prohibiting discrimination based on race, sex, disability, and other grounds; and official language rights for English and French. The Charter applies to all government action, meaning laws or decisions violating Charter rights can be challenged in court. Section 33 (the notwithstanding clause) allows governments to override certain rights temporarily.
