Document Summary

Section 33 of the charter, the first 33 sections constitute the charter of rights and freedoms. Three people who were central to creating this clause. The prime mover in this was pierre eliot trudeau (pet), the prime minister at the time. Pet had a particular political philosophy, he was very well-educated social scientist. All of these figures reached an impasse with the other provinces over mega constitutional reform, - entrenchment of the charter, domestic amending formula, patriation (make it a. Canadian constitution because the bna originally is not a canadian constitution as it was an act of british parliament) The three of them stated to doug ford that not withstanding clause was not made to be used in a situation like this. The notwithstanding clause gives ford the right overpower the judiciaries and he used it to override bilboas decision to refuse his bill to cut from 47 25 legislative members.
