The Jewish Dream Team and the Canadian Constitution: The Contribution of Canadian Jewry to the Making of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms with University of Ottawa Professor of Law, Adam Dodek.
Many Canadians contributed to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It was drafted, critiqued, shaped and amended by numerous groups of Canadians, among them, but not least among them, Canadian Jewish leaders and Jewish groups. They made important contributions to the changes that were made to Pierre Elliot Trudeau's draft Charter. Find out why these Jews should be counted among the unsung mothers and fathers of Re-Confederation.
