Please join the Runnymede Society’s Manitoba Robson Chapter for a special “Lunch & Learn” event with Edgar Schmidt, former General Counsel at the Department of Justice and one of Canada’s most well-known whistleblowers, on Wednesday, November 5th!
Mr. Schmidt will share insights from his landmark challenge to the federal government’s internal practices surrounding the Charter compliance review of proposed legislation. His case raised profound questions about the constitutional duty of the Minister of Justice to alert Parliament when a bill may be inconsistent with Charter rights, and about the broader responsibility of public servants in upholding the rule of law.
