The notwithstanding clause and Bill 21

Jonathan Montpetit explains here the relationship between the notwithstanding clause and Bill 21. It isn’t a dry exercise but has consequences for how Quebec will be, especially in the pre‑emptive manner in which it has been used.

Update: Montpetit continues the theme with an examination of the CAQ intention to use the notwithstanding clause to extend French language laws – and basically do what it likes.
