Queen Elizabeth II signs Canada's constitutional into law on April 17, 1982, alongside prime minister Pierre Trudeau.Section 33 of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, better known as the notwithstanding clause, allows the federal or provincial parliaments to pass temporary laws that override certain constitutionally protected rights.

This was a safeguard that the Prairie provinces sought in 1981′s constitutional talks so that, in case of a dispute between elected governments and courts, the government could win as long as the people allowed it to. Quebec, for instance, has used it to make sure laws promoting French over other languages will survive a Charter challenge.Mr. Ford is the first Ontario premier to put the clause into legislation, and this was his third time doing it.
