CLF is intervening in an important case at the SCC this Fall. CLF will argue that provinces have no constitutional authority to prohibit lawyers from openly affiliating with their religion, or to compel them to implicitly identify as "irreligious" at work: https://t.co/Gwv8MiBTJV

Thrilled to be back at @AllardLaw for @CLF_Canada’s annual Symposium on Law, Religion, and Human Rights on “The Shape of Freedom”. Many thanks to @derekbmross and @briandnbird for inviting me to speak on the notwithstanding clause and the implied bill of rights.
