Section Thirty Of The Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms
Section 30 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a section that, like other provisions within the section 25 to section 31 bloc, provides a guide as to how Charter rights should be interpreted and applied by Canadian courts. Section 30's particular role is to address how the Charter applies in the territories of Canada. In 1982, when section 30 first became law, these were the Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory. Nunavut has since broken away from the Northwest Territories to become Canada's third territory; section 30 applies to it as well.
