As I understand it the undermining of women's (and, presumably other groups)
rights is supposed to be the result of the supremacy of the distinct society
clause over the Charter of Rights. If so, then it is indeed *only* in
Quebec that these groups will have their rights undermined. (If true, it is
rather ironic that Quebec feminists supported ML, much to the consternation
of their non-Quebec compatriots.)
