In the present case it seems pretty clear that Premier Wall is turning to it rather than exercising his right to refer the case immediately to the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal for ideological reasons.  He says it should be used sparingly, but the truth is quite different.

Feeling free to pick and choose when to over-ride Constitutional rights and freedoms is a dangerous road to go down.   It's a far cry from that guy who called it  "an ugly boil on an otherwise beautiful document" with no reservation or limitation.  

One premier may override the Charter to permit expansion of the Catholic school system; the next government leader may use it to deny assisted death to men and women suffering  irremediable pain but who are not near death.  It was a good thing that governments were reluctant to use section 33.  They should do more than pay lip service to that reluctance today.
