The Notion of ‘Institutional Completeness’ in Canada: The Contribution of the Judiciary Towards New Avenues of Non-Territorial Autonomy
Abstract
The concept of ‘institutional completeness’, which refers to the organizational influence of a minority group and the degree to which it can provide its members with all necessary services, has recently enjoyed renewed interest in Canada. The author exposes the recent jurisprudential developments in Canada pertaining to the modernization and revival of the concept of ‘institutional completeness’, most notable in the sphere of education for Francophone minority groups living outside of the Province of Quebec, and to a lesser degree Anglophone and Allophone communities within Quebec, and encourages an in-depth exploration of the concept and of its potential not only for the autonomy of European minorities, but also as a means of compensation for past harms and injustices done to them.
