The notwithstanding clause of the Charter / Laurence Brosseau, Marc-André Roy, Legal and Social Affairs Division, Parliamentary Information and Research Service. : YM32-2/2018-17E-PDF
"The constitutional notwithstanding clause set out in section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as the Charter of Rights or the Charter) has been controversial since its emergence from a November 1981 Federal-Provincial Conference of First Ministers. After setting out the content of the section 33 notwithstanding clause, this Background Paper will trace its development in 1981 and describe the potential use then ascribed to it by its drafters, parliamentarians and others. The paper will then go on to point out actual instances when the notwithstanding clause has been invoked. Finally, it will present a number of arguments for and against the use of the clause"--Introd., p. 1.
