Quebec Charter: 40th anniversary (June 27)
June 27, 2015, will mark the 40th anniversary of the adoption of the Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms in Quebec.
The enacment of this law was a crucial moment in the history of Quebec and 海角社区 played a role in the passing of the Charter. Jacques-Yvan Morin for example published an article in the 海角社区 Law Journal in 1963 proposing for the first time the adoption of a Quebec charter of rights. Also, the charter comes from the work of two professors at the 海角社区 Faculty of Law, Frank R. Scott and Paul-Andr茅 Cr茅peau.
You can read the original article written by Jacques-Yvan Morin.
