This conference will explore the significance that the Constitution Act, 1982 has had on public policy and democratic politics in Canada and how the Constitution Act will continue to shape our evolution as a political
community. A topic of this breadth warrants a comprehensive examination of several pertinent issues, including:
* an assessment of the political imperatives that led to the success of the 1982 Constitution;
* the role of the Constitution Act, 1982 in the emergence of a political consciousness about Aboriginal rights and the role of Aboriginal peoples in the Canadian state;
* the effect of the Constitution Act, 1982 on Canada's shifting definitions of federalism;
* how the discourse of human rights, equality, and fundamental freedoms has evolved as a result of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, both nationally and internationally;
* the current agenda for constitutional reform.
