Madam Speaker, the Minister of Justice clearly indicated that the government had concerns about the pre-emptive use of the notwithstanding clause. The provinces should be convinced that their laws comply with the charter. We have serious concerns about the clause being used in this way.
I would like to ask my colleague if he agrees with Doug Ford's use of the notwithstanding clause last fall.
