Mr. Speaker, five premiers, including the Premier of Quebec, have written to the Prime Minister of Canada asking in clear terms that he withdraw the federal government's legal submission to the Supreme Court in the case against Bill 21.
The five premiers refuse to allow Ottawa to weaponize the courts for its political fight against the notwithstanding clause. To quote the five premiers, “the federal government's arguments represent a complete disavowal of the constitutional bargain that brought the Charter into being”.
Will the Liberals finally stop their constitutional power grab and withdraw this court submission?
