Martin is pushing this through, knowing full-well that most Canadians oppose it. His defense of that is that the majority of Canadians should not have it in their hands to decide the fate of a minority, thus no referendum.
I guess it is much better his way...that the minority be able to change things that the majority oppose being changed. Martin is Canada's Prime Minister and activist judge.

At the head of a minority government. The Fathers Of The Confederation opposed a bill of rights and judicial review. They did not want judges to usurp the good judgment of the people's representatives in Parliament. Its too bad when the Constitution Act was repatriated to Canada by Pierre Trudeau in 1982, that the Liberals had to confer such a destructive power upon the courts. They could not have left the design of the original British North America Act that worked well for Canada over a century alone. They had to graft on the worst features of American judicial imperialism. Now Canada is governed by American-inspired courts with an impotent British government and French inefficiency.
