Section 30 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 block, provides a guide as to how Charter rights should be interpreted and applied by Canadian courts. It addresses how the Charter applies in the territories of Canada. In 1982, when it became law, these were the Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory. The Yukon Territory is now called Yukon,^[1] and Nunavut was created from the eastern Northwest Territories to become Canada's third territory in 1999.^[2]
