Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette committed on Tuesday to renew the use of the Charter’s override clause to protect a French-language law from court challenges, promising to lead a “nationalist” government with five months to go before the general election.
The legislation to renew the so-called notwithstanding clause will be the first bill her party introduces since she was sworn into office last month.
