The organizers of separatist movements, however, have a constitutional problem. Canada was established in areas entrusted by the first nations (indigenous people) in the management of the British Crown, and later to the Canadian state. Constitution in art. 25 Carts of rights and freedoms stipulate that the rights arising from the card cannot be interpreted so that “other rights and freedoms of native nations, treaties”. As a result, there is no province secession without the consent of the first nations. The Card of Rights and Freedom became part of the Constitution of Canada on April 17, 1982.
