Law of CanadaModule 3
Equality, human rights and Indigenous peoples: section 15, human rights codes, section 35, the duty to consult and Indigenous legal orders
Two parts of Canadian law set the country apart from many others. The first is its approach to **equality**: a Charter right that focuses on real-world effects, working alongside human rights statutes and tribunals that apply to employers, landlords and service providers. The second is the law of **Indigenous peoples**: a constitutional recognition of Aboriginal and treaty rights, a doctrine of Crown honour and consultation, and a growing acknowledgement that Indigenous peoples have their own legal orders. Both started with a decision to treat difference carefully: equality does not mean sameness, and reconciliation is a continuing legal obligation. This module takes each in turn.
This course explains the law of Canada, not US law. Rules that look the same elsewhere may be different.

See what is included in the Courses & AI Lab Pass →General education on Canadian law, using invented people and businesses and abstract provinces. It states constitutional provisions and landmark decisions in simplified form, and it is not legal advice. Provinces and territories differ, the law changes, and every case turns on its facts. Consult a lawyer licensed in the province or territory that matters.
