Marion Sandilands interviewed for McGill Law Journal podcast: “The New Era of the Notwithstanding Clause”

Over the last 5 years, the use of section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, known as the Notwithstanding Clause, has become increasingly controversial. Conway Partner Marion Sandilands is featured in this podcast produced by the McGill Law Journal.

The episode delves into the historical context of the Notwithstanding Clause to shed light on the section’s current issues. Using Quebec’s Bill 21 and Ontario’s Working Families cases, the episode highlights the tensions between legislative authority and judicial oversight.
