Description: Did you know Quebec had a Charter before Canada did? The Quebec Charter was created in 1976 and is at the top of Quebec's legal food chain. Only the Canadian Constitution can overrule it. Even though Quebec enacted it's Charter six years before Canada did, in many ways Quebec's Charter is more advanced. For example, while the Charter is silent about economic and social rights, the Quebec Charter guarantees people in Quebec a right to social assistance. Quebec was also the first province or state in the world to protect people from discrimination due to sexual orientation.
