 THE FUTURE AFTER TWENTY YEARS UNDER THE CHARTER
By adding the Charter in the last 20 years to the public's arsenal of rights protectors, we have not only thereby added more rights, but have also added expectations that more needs will be treated as rights and not merely as aspirations.

Twenty years from now a new generation of children will have grown up with the values of the Charter as moral tutors and the preeminence of rights as the core of their civic curriculum.
