Abstract
"The first edition of The Canadian Bill of Rights first appeared in 1966 and has remained the standard work in the field. This second, fully revised edition incorporates material on the many important developments that have affected civil liberties and the Bill of Rights since 1966, including the constitutional debates of 1968 to 1971, the McRuer Report, the spread of the Ombudsman institution and the rapid proliferation of human rights codes and commissions in the various Provinces. A final section deals with the far-reaching implications of the use of the War Measures Act. The revisions and additions include recent judicial decisions, especially the landmark decisions of the Supreme Court, and statues enacted up to December, 1973."--Back cover.
