Please join the Runnymede Society’s University of Alberta Chapter for a friendly debate on the interpretation of section 33 between Professor Eric Adams (Alberta) and Professor Dwight Newman (Saskatchewan) on Wednesday, November 5th!

Prof. Adams will argue that constitutional “dialogue” leaves open the possibility of judicial engagement with rights, even under a section 33 declaration. Prof. Newman will argue that section 33 operates as a legislative “shield” against judicial engagement with rights during its application. The debate will be moderated by Professor Gerard Kennedy (Alberta). Register by scanning the QR code or clicking here.
