I was interested in this motion when the notice was first served. But we've just learned from the law clerk that there is no duty or obligation on the part of the Minister of Justice to make sure that a piece of legislation is in compliance with the Constitution. There is a reference to making sure that it doesn't offend the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, but no one has made the case that this bill offends the charter in any way. I no longer see the purpose for bringing in the Minister of Justice, so I'll be voting against it.
On June 5th, 2006. See this statement in context.
