Show Notes
The Supreme Court of Canada is grappling with Quebecs Bill 21, which bans religious symbols for public workers, using the notwithstanding clause to suspend certain rights for up to five years. Challengers argue it violates freedoms, marking the courts biggest review of the clause in over forty years. The federal government and several provinces have weighed in, with views split on whether courts can still review these laws. The historic four-day hearing could significantly impact the notwithstanding clauses future across Canada.
