Upon a person's arrest or detention section 10 (a) of the Charter Of Rights And Freedoms requires a person

To be informed promptly of the reasons
To retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right
Not to be compelled to be a witness
To be presumed innocent until proven guilty

The correct answer is: To be informed promptly of the reasons

Section 10(a) of the Charter of Canadian Rights and Freedoms states specifically that upon arrest or detention, an individual must be informed promptly of the reasons for their detention or arrest. This means they have a right to immediately know why they have been taken into custody, to ensure they can appropriately understand, respond to, and contest the charges against them if necessary. This is an important part of safeguarding individual rights and ensuring that all legal proceedings are conducted fairly and transparently. This clause allows individuals to demand the legal reason for their detainment or arrest, incentivizing law enforcement agencies to maintain transparency and adherence to legalities in the course of their duties.
