- Parliament, the Courts and the Charter
The Conservative Party believes that Parliament, rather than the courts, is the law-making body of Canada. We support the establishment of a parliamentary judicial review committee to prepare an appropriate response to those court decisions that Parliament believes should be addressed through legislation. We re-affirm the legitimacy of the entire Charter of Rights and Freedoms including section 33 (notwithstanding clause). We support legislation to remove authority from the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to regulate, receive, investigate or adjudicate complaints related to section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
They can’t challenge if it they just use it again.
If the cons take power, it will remain in place until they are out of power. I imagine the opposing parties would have immediately revoking it, be a part of their platform, so we wouldn’t need to wait through the end of the 5 year period.
