Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, pictured at Rideau Hall on Sept. 11. As the issue makes its way through the courts, all federal parties should wait patiently, as they did with Bill 101. Successive court challenges reduced that law to a much less robust version, which is accepted by most Quebecers, writes Andrew Caddell. The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade
