Anthony Housefather at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Sean. It's much appreciated that you're before the committee.

Before I get to my questions, I want to discuss the issue of the notwithstanding clause, because it sounds like our Conservative colleagues have been using their question time to argue that the notwithstanding clause should have been used.

Minister, the notwithstanding clause has never been used by the federal Parliament. Is that correct?
