Title
Linguistic School Boards in Quebec – A Reform Whose Time Has Come: Reference Re Education Act of Québec (Bill 107)
Abstract
On June 17, 1993, the Supreme Court of Canada handed down its decision on the constitutionality of the restructuring of schools boards in Quebec, as provided for under Bill 107, along linguistic rather than religious lines. The author argues that the battle over denominational rights was a “quixotic crusade” to preserve school board structures, not denominational rights that were protected by section 93 of the Constitution Act, 1867.
