As Alberta invokes the Notwithstanding Clause for the fourth time, we’ve created a video with one of Canada’s leading constitutional scholars to help you better understand the issue.
The debate surrounding the use of the Notwithstanding Clause is becoming one of the hottest topics in Canada – especially in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Quebec.
Peter Biro (the founder of Section1.ca, as well as one of our country’s top lawyers and the author of the go-to book on the Notwithstanding Clause) joins us to explain the history of the constitutional clause, why it’s being used, and what it all means for the health of our democracy.
