In this episode, we sit down with Geoffrey Sigalet, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of British Columbia’s Okanagan Campus and the Director of the UBC Centre for Constitutional Law and Legal Studies. Geoffrey joins us to discuss Section 33 of the Charter, the Notwithstanding Clause, and his recent article published in the Osgoode Hall Law Journal, Legislated Rights as Trumps: Why the Notwithstanding Clause Overrides Judicial Review.

This episode covers the historic and increasing contemporary use of the Notwithstanding Clause, as well as what Canada’s top constitutional scholars have to say about Section 33 of the Charter.
