| | Canada Act 1982 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Canada Act 1982 is an Act of Parliament passed by the British Parliament that severed virtually all remaining constitutional and legislative ties between the United Kingdom and Canada. | | | Whilst the Canada Act 1982 received the Royal Assent on March 29, 1982 in London, it was not until the Queen came to Canada that the Constitution Act, 1982, its Canadian equivalent, was proclaimed by Letters patent as a statutory instrument by the Queen on her visit to Canada. | | | Canada's road to political self government came with the British North America Act 1867 (called in Canada the "Constitution Act, 1867"). |

| | This was, in fact, frankly acknowledged by the Supreme Court in Singh, [1985] 1 S.C.R. Because civil liberties continued to be imperfectly protected in Canada's constitutional system, many writers and politicians advocated adoption of a constitutionally entrenched Charter of Rights. | | | Or again, that in 1914, the Supreme Court of Canada had to consider provincial legislation prohibiting "Chinamen" from employing white females. | | | Prior to the patriation of the Canadian Constitution in 1982, the Canadian Constitution consisted of a number of British statutes. |
