Roman Baber at the Justice and Human Rights Committee

I went to Western. I have a very vague recollection of first-year constitutional law, so I hope your memory is better than mine.

Here's what I remember about how the charter was born. Attorney General Jean Chrétien sealed the deal of the notwithstanding clause with section 33. He agreed that in our Westminster parliamentary system, Parliament is supreme. Because Chrétien was a gentleman, he had faith that section 33 would not be used willy-nilly and only used in the most extreme cases.

Are you with me so far?
