The constitution is the LAW of the LAND • It says how our country should be ran and by what rules • Everyone has to follow the Constitution, no matter who you are
The rights and privileges of Canada’s two official languages are protected in ALL government institutions
The Supreme Court of Canada makes the final decision if an individual or collective group claim to be treated unfairly • Even the government MUST follow this decision
First Nations, Inuit, and Metis people are involved in changes to the Constitution
All Provincial and Federal leaders in GOVERNMENT (not including opposition) MUST agree before any changes can be made to the Constitution
The MNAA (Metis Nation of Alberta Association) represent the Metis people of Alberta in regards to land, harvesting, and any right-violations
