What’s its purpose? Lays out the rules and procedures for Canada’s government, H of C and Senate, roles of Federal and provincial governments,and their powers, taxation, laws.

Colonial Ties Canada was now self-governing but Britain still controlled our foreign affairs. Most Canadians were still proud to make everything British. Went and fought for Britain in: Boer War (1899), WWI (1914), WWII (1939) French Canadians and others soon pushed for more independence… and got it.

Statute of Westminster (1931) Changed the role of the Governor-General More of a ceremonial role Canada given full control over its own laws. 2 things Britain still held until 1982: 1.Highest court of appeal in legal system 2.Canada’s constitution- (because federal and provincial governments couldn’t agree on method of making changes to it)

Bill of Rights, 1960 Canada’s early version of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Passed by Diefenbaker It was a Federal paper not a constitutional set of laws, so they were hard to enforce and easy to change. Canada was also wanting something like the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights so in 1982, something was done about it.

PM Diefenbaker

Constitution Act, 1982 In this Act, all remaining powers held by Britain were given over to Canada. Created in both official languages, signed by the queen, G.G and Pierre Trudeau
