I hadn't heard that one. I got rid of it.
The short answer to your question is that the magic solution is in our brief.
We drew on what already exists, without touching the Constitution, opening it all up and so on. We looked at the Official Languages Act, with its quasi-constitutional character, and were inspired by existing paragraph 43(1)(d). We simply extrapolated from that and responded to everything you'd said in your reports. You've written so many reports and recommendations! We made sure all those recommendations were consistent with the legislative proposals we were submitting to you. We're essentially saying we have to find a way to provide a framework for federal government support for minority education.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but, from what I understand, our Constitution determines why there is a federal government and why there is a provincial government. It also determines to whom its sections apply. Furthermore, the Constitution recognizes that the francophone minority school boards have an exclusive management right. We therefore rely on that right, which is recognized in the Constitution, in section 43, in saying that, when it comes to language and culture, the minority school boards can't be excluded.
