Top court strikes down Quebec English school law Last Updated: Thursday, October 22, 2009 | 11:35 AM ET Comments429 [5]Recommend234 [6] CBC News [7]Canada's top court has declared a Quebec law barring certain students from going to public English-language schools unconstitutional, a decision that has "angered" the province's government.
The Supreme Court of Canada released its unanimous ruling on Bill 104 Thursday morning, effectively throwing out two appeals by the Quebec government to preserve the legislation.
The SCOC called Bill 104 "excessive" and lacking nuance, and is giving Quebec one year to replace it with an appropriate compromise.
