In June 2020, the Supreme Court ruled in a case involving the Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie‑Britannique and the Fédération des parents francophones de Colombie‑Britannique as appellants, and the province as respondent. The judgment marked a turning point for Canada as a whole in that it strongly supported the claims of francophone school boards across Canada and furthered the entire idea of substantive equivalence. That principle means that, if a reasonable parent determines that a French-language school doesn't offer services equivalent to those provided by an English-language school in the same locality, then there is no substantive equivalence. The judgment strongly supports the right to demand school boards across Canada.
