Kids Health Foundation

Since she was elected soon after founding this organization, has it folded? There is no website and seemingly nothing on the Web to indicate there are any ongoing activities. If it was founded and then folded without doing anything, is it worth including? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.94.49.56 (talk) 02:42, 23 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I searched CRA and there is no such organization registered. I added that it is defunct to the article. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ebci/haip/srch/basicsearchresult-eng.action?k=kids+health+foundation&s=registered&p=1&b=true — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.99.133.32 (talk) 16:48, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Asbestos

Shouldn't there be a mention of her silence on the government's (of which she is a part) promotion of asbestos exports? 216.121.208.71 (talk) 22:28, 18 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Many important rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Charter extend to everyone in Canada, including the fundamental freedoms of expression, religion and association set out in section 2, the fundamental legal rights, particularly in the context of investigation and prosecution of and punishment for criminal offences, set out in sections 7 through 14, and the guarantee of equality rights in section 15.

But some rights only extend to citizens, i.e. the right to vote and to be qualified for membership in the House of Commons and the provincial legislative assemblies set out in section 3; the right to enter, remain in and leave Canada set out in subsection 6(1); and minority language education rights guaranteed under section 23. Likewise, one right extends to citizens and permanent residents, but not others who may be present in Canada, i.e. the right to move to and take up residence in any province and to pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province set out in subsection 6(2).

It may therefore be worth nuancing the assertion in the article that all rights and freedoms in the Charter apply to all "citizens, permanent residents and immigrants to Canada".
