BC’s AG to intervene in Supreme Court challenge to Quebec’s Bill 21

BC’s Attorney General Nikki Sharma tells News Director Harjinder Thind that the Supreme Court of Canada has approved the province’s application as an intervener in the appeal of English Montreal School Board v. Attorney General of Quebec, concerning the constitutionality of Quebec’s secularism legislation, Bill 21. The move reflects growing provincial engagement in high-stakes constitutional questions—especially over the use and limits of the notwithstanding clause and the protection of minority rights under the Canadian Charter.
