It should have a positive effect. I hope that all education ministries have taken note of the decision and are implementing it. As we know, it took many rulings following the 1990 decision in Mahé v. Alberta for education ministries to understand that school boards have to be established where the number of rights holders warrants it. That problem has now been addressed.
It may take some time for it to be embedded system-wide, but yes, there will be a positive impact. As you know, and as all committee members and the general public know, there are some aberrations. For example, it's hard to understand why someone from the Congo who has come to the Northwest Territories to work and whose second language is French can't attend a French-language school. It just doesn't make sense.
