The 40th Anniversary of the Canadian Charter: Unfinished Business
April 8, 2022 @ 9:00 am - 1:00 pm EDT
The Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism of McGill University organised a roundtable, co-hosted by Colleen Sheppard & Vrinda Narain.
Co-researcher Penelope Simons presented on “The Charter at 40- Who’s still afraid of social rights?“. The presentation gave an overview of past and current advocacy strategies for the constitutional protection of socio-economic rights and questioned whether, 40 years down the road, the recognition of these rights remains a relevant and attainable goal.
