The notwithstanding clause allows governments to set aside certain charter rights and supersede the courts on decisions. Quebec's Bill 21 has set up the latest fight between the premiers and the prime minister over how it can be used. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath discuss the historic precedents that set out its use.

Ontario's handling of the Skills Development Fund is under the microscope following an auditor general's report, so a minister attending a lobbyist's wedding in Paris has the opposition's hackles up. Steve and John Michael delve into the optics and what the other parties may do.

Doug Ford received a letter from 20 municipalities asking him to consider exemptions to his ban on automated speed enforcement cameras, specifically allowing them in school zones. Steve and JMM discuss the premier's response.
