2. Collective Rights
These are rights that are given to a group – often with the intention of supporting or protecting a minority group.
They are entrenched into the Constitution
Two main groups in Canada enjoy these rights – Aboriginal Peoples and Francophones
Does this support or go against liberal values?

3. Aboriginal Collective Rights
Co-operation – competition – coercion
Proclamation of 1763, treaties, Indian Act
Efforts to eliminate those rights: White Paper (Red Paper response)
Efforts to restore and revitalize those rights: Royal Commission, land claims settlements and self-government

4. Francophone Collective Rights
First settlers, Conquest of 1763
Quebec Act – promises made to protect culture
Future constitutions and actions reject this:
Not allowing Catholics to participate in government
Manitoba Schools question
Riel Resistance

5. Quiet Revolution – the response to the increasing marginalization of the francophone people
Bill 101
FLQ Crisis
Refusal to sign Constitution
1980 and 1995 referendums regarding separation
Today:
Creation of immigration guidelines, dwindling support for separatist parties
