This is interesting. The federal court has the power to enforce provincial constitutions?

Yes, the Canadian Supreme Court is the final appeal court for all courts in Canada, federal or provincial.

And the Quebec Charter of Rights is actually a regular statute passed by the legislature; it can be repealed or amended like any other.

Then how can a law be struck down for conflicting with it? Didn't the legislature just amend the Charter by passing this law?
