Bill 21 Heads To The Supreme Court.

This appeal is more for show than anything else. Legault invoked Section 33 of the Charter so that specific sections of the Charter could not override the law's provisions. Other rights not subject to Section 33 can be adjudicated by the high court.  We all have an opinion on the law: I don't agree with all its provisions, but I imagine that most of them will pass the Section 33 test.

As you will recall, Section 33 was the bitter pill that Trudeau had to swallow to get the Charter. Therefore, expect the Supreme Court to uphold its validity. 

Provinces are sovereign in areas of provincial jurisdiction and this law is no exception to that.
