Section 30 clarifies application to territories. Which territories are included?

• A. Ontario and Quebec
• B. Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories
• C. Nunavut and Northwest Territories
• D. All territories

Answer: (B)

Section 30 specifies which parts of Canada the Charter applies to beyond the provinces, by naming the territories it covers. It states that the Charter applies to the Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories. Ontario and Quebec are provinces, not territories, so they’re not the focus here. The idea of “all territories” would include Nunavut, which isn’t named in Section 30. Since the question tests knowing which territories Section 30 explicitly covers, the correct understanding is that the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories are included.
