 The Notwithstanding Clause of the Charter (BP194e)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
I am aware, of course, of Quebec’s general attempt not to be bound by the Charter, but this was done in the context of a transcendent political situation that is not in its essence centred on questions of human rights.
In this last case it might be argued that a government claiming to be in agreement with a court ruling passed a legislative measure said to be consistent with the spirit of that court ruling but, for greater certainty and to avoid future litigation, included a section 33 override clause.
Quebec resorted to the notwithstanding clause after the Supreme Court of Canada, in the Chaussure Brown’s and Devine cases on the language of commercial signs, ruled that an outright prohibition of the use of languages other than French was an unreasonable limitation on the freedom of expression guaranteed by the Charter.

Bouchard represented the leader of the Quebec moderate separatist forces that were willing to accept and endorse the Meech Lake Accord and its now infamous "distinct society" description of Quebec.
The Chretien Liberals succeeded in destroying the Tory party in the 1993 election based principally upon their efforts to severe the Bouchard camp from the Tory party in Quebec.
Bouchard's existence as a Quebec hero is directly related to the purely selfish efforts of the Chretien Liberals to undermine the Tory coalition in Quebec in order to return the Liberals to power.
