Join UBC Allard’s Runnymede Society student chapter for a presentation from Professor Dwight Newman on October 9th at 12:30 pm.

In this presentation, Professor Newman will discuss the absence of a property rights clause in the Charter. He will detail some of the complex history behind this state of affairs, which makes Canada an outlier amongst liberal democracies. He will argue that there are resulting harms to human rights. At a practical level, he will argue that there is even damage to the availability of housing. He will highlight possible paths toward better protection of property rights and the broad advantages of those paths.
