Section Thirty of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a section of the Charter that, like other provisions within the section 25 to section 31 bloc, provides a guide as to how Charter rights should be interpreted and applied by Canadian courts. Section 30's particular role is to address how the Charter applies in the territories of Canada. In 1982, when section 30 first became law, these were the Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory. Nunavut has since broken away from the Northwest Territories to become Canada's third territory; section 30 applies to it as well.

The section reads,

30. A reference in this Charter to a province or to the legislative assembly or legislature of a province shall be deemed to include a reference to the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories, or to the appropriate legislative authority thereof, as the case may be.

As the government of Canada puts it on one of its websites, this means that "The Charter applies to the Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut in exactly the same way as it does to the provinces." [1] Hence, section 30 is particularly important in regard to section 3, 4, 5, 6 and 23 rights. Since section 6 refers to rights to "move to and take up residence in any province" and to "pursue the gaining of a livelihood in any province," section 30 is applied so that section 6 also guarantees rights to move to and pursue work in the territories of Canada. Likewise, section 30 extends section 23's guarantee of minority language educational rights for minority language groups in the provinces to minority language groups in the territories.

Section 30 also guarantees that territorial governments are bound by sections 3 to 5, which themselves only explicitely refer to provincial governments. Hence, those in the territories will have the right to vote or run in territorial elections (section 3), territorial governments cannot operate for longer than 5 years without an election (section 4), and territorial governments must sit at least once a year (section 5). Suffrage is the civil right to vote, or the exercise of that right. ...


The other rights in the other sections of the Charter are also valid and enforceable in the territories, perhaps through section 30 but mainly through section 32, which states that the Charter applies to the federal government. The authority of the territorial governments is derived from the Canadian Parliament. Section Thirty-two of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms concerns the application and scope of the Charter. ... The Parliament of Canada (in French: le Parlement du Canada) is Canadas legislative branch, seated at Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario. ...


The content of section 30 dates back to the original draft of the Charter, which was published in October 1980. 1980 (MCMLXXX) is a leap year starting on Tuesday. ...
