The Canadian Bill of Rights (1960) was a landmark federal law establishing protections for equality, due process, and individual liberties. Although later superseded in scope by the 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Bill of Rights remains historically significant as Canada's first national human-rights legislation.
