  2. What are collective rights? • Collective rights are rights held by groups (peoples) in Canadian society that are recognized and protected by Canada’s constitution. • Collective rights are different than individual rights. Every Canadian citizen and permanent resident has individual rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (i.e.: the right to live in Canada) • Collective rights are rights are rights Canadians hold because they belong to one of several groups in society.

  3. Who holds collective rights in Canada? • Aboriginal peoples, including First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. • Francophones and Anglophones.

  4. Why do some peoples have collective rights and not others? • Collective rights recognize the founding peoples of Canada. Canada would not exist today without the contributions of these peoples. • Collective rights come from the roots of Aboriginal peoples, Francophones and Anglophones in the land and history of Canada.

  5. Did You Know • Collective Rights set Canada apart from other nations. For Example, no groups (peoples) in the United States have rights recognized in the American Constitution. • Collective rights reflect the idea of mutual respect among peoples. This idea has a long history in Canada. For example it shaped the Great Peace of Montréal in 1701, among 39 First Nations and the French.
