Title
Linguistic School Boards: A Guide to Understanding the Changes to Quebec’s Public School System
Abstract
Under the Constitution Act 1867 (formerly known as the British North America Act), a confessional school system (Catholic and Protestant) was established in Quebec. Article 93 of the act made it unconstitutional for Quebec to change this system. In 1997, a unanimous vote by Quebec's National Assembly allowed for a request to the Government of Canada to exempt the province from Article 93 of the Constitution Act. This constitutional amendment request was passed by the federal Parliament in 1997, paving the way for linguistic (French and English) school boards in Quebec.
