  • Summary

  • Brian interviews Peter Biro. Peter is the Founder and President of democracy think-tank, Section 1, Senior Fellow of Massey College, an Adjunct Professor at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law where he teaches Constitutional Law. Peter Biro has, for many years, been writing and speaking about the notwithstanding clause and calling either for its repeal or for laws limiting its use and modifying its operation. Section 33 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, also known as the notwithstanding clause, is one of the Constitution’s most controversial and least well understood provisions. By invoking the notwithstanding clause, the government can insulate a law from the strongest order a court can issue, which is to strike down the law because it infringes a Charter right or freedom.
