QUESTION TWO: Section 27 of the Charter (Constitution Act 1982) provides this protection for multiculturalism: “This Charter shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the preservation and enhancement of the multicultural heritage of Canadians.” What makes this section different than the other Charter rights? Does this section inhibit or enhance Canada’s multicultural identity?
Section 27 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not contain a right; rather it determines how rights in other sections of charter should be applied. It is not the right of individual to multiculturalism. It guides the interpretation of other charters and thus respects Canada’s multiculturalism. Yes this section enhance Canada’s multicultural identity by demanding government to respect and tolerate various religions. It focuses on eliminating inequality between how cultural groups are funded and demanding government to financially support minority culture
