“This is a fascinating and provocative collection of essays on one of the most contested features of the Canadian constitution, the notwithstanding clause. It is a must-read for those who want to learn about, and dissect contrasting views on this powerful, rights-implicating legislative tool.” Emmett Macfarlane, co-author of Legislating under the Charter: Parliament, Executive Power, and Rights “This comprehensive volume brings together leading scholars and practitioners to analyze some of the most important issues and challenges related to the Charter’s override clause. It will be of great value to all interested in Canadian constitutional law and politics.” Adam Dodek, co-editor of In Search of the Ethical Lawyer: Stories from the Canadian Legal Profession “Comprehensive and compelling, these essays probe the intersection of history, law, policy, and politics, reflecting the dynamics of a constitutional democracy.” Irwin Cotler, Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights “The book brings together diverse voices to produce the most comprehensive study of this controversial clause. A must-read for anyone interested in human rights, democracy, and the future of Canada.” Justice Nathalie Des Rosiers, Ontario Superior Court of Justice “The right book at the right time!” Patrick Taillon, Université Laval
