Three things that I learned:
The last-minute addition of a clause during constitutional negotiations, famously dubbed the "Kitchen Accord," led to its inclusion.
Section 33 of the Charter permits a government to circumvent a court's decision.
Several provincial leaders raised concerns about the potential for the Charter to grant excessive interpretive authority to courts and judges, thereby potentially limiting provincial legislative autonomy.
Two things I want to learn about
The specifics of Section 33 within the Charter grant governments the ability to sidestep court rulings.
The historical context and significance of the "Kitchen Accord."
One question
- What are the prevailing sentiments surrounding the utilization of Section 33?
