	Bill of rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bill of rights is a statement of certain rights which, under a society's laws, citizens and/or residents either have, want to have, or ought to have.
		A 'bill of rights' may also be an aspirational statement of the rights that citizens ought to have even though the defining body does not have the ability to enforce the protection of those rights.
		Infringement of rights protected by a bill of rights (such as by repeal of statutory protections or by statutory infringement of constitutionally protected rights) may cause civil unrest, civil disobedience or even revolution.

	Canadian Bill of Rights - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This article is about the Canadian Bill of Rights, which should not be confused with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the Canadian Human Rights Act.
		Second, even if it was entrenched, the Bill predated section 52 of the Constitution Act, 1982 which authorized the courts to strike down laws that conflict with the constitution.
		The Charter was an entrenched document; the Bill of Rights is not.

	Canadian Bill of Rights
		Canadian Bill of Rights, Prime Minister John DIEFENBAKER's pathbreaking 1960 HUMAN RIGHTS charter, applied only to federal law because the requisite provincial consent was not obtained.
		One of the bill's weaknesses was that many judges regarded it as a mere interpretative aid.
		To the extent that it is not superseded by the 1982 CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, the bill remains in effect.

	- Research Note - Canada's Constitution prior to 1982
		Prior to the Proclamation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the law of civil liberties in Canada was not disciplined by a constitutionally entrenched Charter of Rights.
		Since the Canadian Bill of Rights is not a constitutional statute in the sense that it renders the conflicting statute void and of no effect, the significance of the statement that the court shall not apply the conflicting statute affects the doctrine of implied repeal.
		However, the "quasi-constitutional" status of the Canadian Bill of Rights reverses this rule: where the later specific statute conflicts with the Canadian Bill of Rights, it is the later specific statute which is impliedly repealed; it "shall not be applied".

		Section 1(a) of the bill of rights states: ``The right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof, except by due process of law''.
		For Canadians that protection lies only in the common law tradition and in the bill of rights which guarantees ``the right to enjoyment of property and the right not to be deprived thereof except by due process''.
		Canadians must be assured that their property is protected from the arbitrary hand of government by the guarantees such as those proposed in Motion M-205.

		The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a constitutionally entrenched bill of rights which forms part of the Constitution of Canada adopted in 1982.
		The Canadian Bill of Rights, which the Canadian Parliament enacted in 1960 had many of these rights, but it was only applicable to the federal government as, unlike the Charter, it was not part of the Constitution of Canada.
		It is because of this similarity with European Human Rights law that the Supreme Court of Canada turns not only to the Constitution of the United States case law but also the European Court of Human Rights cases in interpreting the Charter.

		This meant that individuals could invoke any of the listed rights in court cases, and (since the rights were not defined but simply listed) it would be open to them to argue from whatever conception of the right they thought credible -- they would not be tied to any particular narrow definition of the right.
		The concept of a "right" in moral and political contexts seems to have been an invention of the academic lawyers of the European middle ages.
		The main alternative to intuitionism is "utilitarianism", according to which (at least in some versions) moral rights are recognised by considering what rules or other arrangements would have the best consequences under the prevailing circumstances for all the people concerned (giving equal weight to their interests).

		The contention that the Bill of Rights is to be construed as overriding all of the special legislation imposed by Parliament under the Indian Act is, in my view, fully answered by Pigeon J. in his dissenting opinion in the Drybones [[1970] S.C.R. 282] case where he said, at p.

	WHITFIELD v. CANADIAN MARCONI COMPANY-->
		A clause in a contract of employment placing Indian and Eskimo villages out of bounds to the employee and prohibiting his fraternization or association with the native population except in special circumstances is not an infringement of the employee's "right to liberty" within the meaning of s.
		In order to obtain unusual and re- munerative employment at a particular place Whitfield entered into a contract whereby he agreed, under pain of dismissal, that as a general rule the villages adjoining the radar base were to be considered out of bounds and that he would not fraternize or associate with the native population.
		In view of my conclusion that the clause complained of is not contrary to the Canadian Bill of Rights I do not propose to discuss whether the Canadian Bill of Rights applies either directly or indirectly to the contract of employment passed in the Province of Quebec between Whitfield and Canadian Marconi Co.
