PART 2:

Analyse 2 key documents that impact business practice in Canada.

These documents are relevant as part of the Social Contracts that exist in global and local societies. Ensuring that business practice is in harmony with these is both a moral and in the case of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, a legal obligation on the part of business.

Violation of the Charter in Canada can result in litigation and in some cases criminal proceedings - therefore knowing and understanding the Charter and how it impacts business is essential to marketers and communicators.

Review the 2 documents using the links below and provide concise answers to the questions related to each.
