Thank you.

I'd like to ask for some clarification on something brought up peripherally by Mr. O'Toole and Ms. Laverdière. It's around this idea of the crown prerogative. The crown prerogative, as far as I understand it, is not unlimited. It can be limited by legal obligations under Canadian law, international treaties, or constitutional obligations surrounding the charter. Am I correct?
