[Oversight and monitoring of fundamental rights of people suffering mental disorder: the Canadian experience].

This paper has as its objective the generation of a debate over different alternatives of models of oversight and monitoring of fundamental rights of people suffering mental disorder. The Consent and Capacity Board of the province of Ontario, Canada will be considered. The Board is one of the oldest and leading administrative tribunals in the area of mental health. The paper will analyse the place of the Board in the Canadian legal system and the fundamental distinctions with similar Canadian mental health tribunals. The Board's administrative structure and jurisdiction will be examined, as well as its procedures and mechanisms of review of its decisions.
