Historic decision on the notwithstanding clause from the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal.

"The Charter is not written in disappearing ink that comes and goes every five years according to whether Parliament or a legislature has invoked s. 33."

Pleased to have a chapter on the early professional life of Justice Abella in this open access collection. Congratulations to the editors on this important contribution to judicial biography in Canada.

In 2022, the @uodroitpublaw.bsky.social and the CIAJ held a conference to mark the retirement of Justice Rosalie Abella from the Supreme Court of Canada. I am delighted that an open-access collection flowing from the conference has now been published! utppublishing.com/doi/book/10.3138/9781552216712

"The harms of COVID were many. Let’s not add preventing the government from effectively responding to the next crisis to the list."
