加拿大最高法院对魁北克的宗教标志禁令作出裁决,尽管加拿大通过上述条款推翻了《宪章》规定的权利。 Canada's Supreme Court to rule on Quebec’s religious symbol ban, despite its override of Charter rights via the notwithstanding clause.

加拿大最高法院将听取关于魁北克第21号法案的争论。 该法案禁止公共部门雇员佩戴宗教标志。 一位批评者称,法律批评者将少数群体的信仰作为目标,违反了《权利和自由宪章》。 The Supreme Court of Canada will hear arguments over Quebec’s Bill 21, which bans public sector employees from wearing religious symbols, a law critics say violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms by targeting minority faiths. 虽然普遍认为法律违宪,但该法仍然有效,因为魁北克省使用尽管有条款,允许各省在长达五年、可续延的时间内推翻《宪章》规定的保护。 Though widely considered unconstitutional, the law remains in effect due to Quebec’s use of the notwithstanding clause, which allows provinces to override Charter protections for up to five years, renewable. 该条款旨在维护立法权威,受到批评,因为一些省份援引该条款的方式被认为损害了少数群体的权利,包括拟议对变性青年的限制。 The clause, intended to preserve legislative authority, has drawn criticism as several provinces have invoked it in ways seen as undermining minority rights, including proposed restrictions on transgender youth. 虽然一些争议法院仍应宣布此类法律违宪,以突显侵权行为,但这样做时不修改宪法,有可能导致司法过度。 While some argue courts should still declare such laws unconstitutional to highlight rights violations, doing so without constitutional amendment risks judicial overreach. 案件的核心是,法院是否可以发布咨询裁决,确认侵犯权利的行为,即使适用上述条款,这有可能在保护基本自由方面形成议会权力和司法监督之间的平衡。 The case centers on whether courts can issue advisory rulings affirming rights violations even when the notwithstanding clause applies, potentially shaping the balance between parliamentary power and judicial oversight in protecting fundamental freedoms.
