Mr. Speaker, I listened carefully to the hon. minister's comments.
The minister will know that the issue of precedent with regard to the educational minority rights in other provinces is a very, very important issue. I refer the minister to the letter of March 26 to the Prime Minister from Archbishop Emeritus Cardinal G. Emmett Carter of Toronto, in which he refers to Professor Patrick Monahan of Osgoode Hall Law School, in which he said, among other things, that an amendment to term 17 would create a risk to denominational school guarantees in other provinces that hitherto did not exist.
The minister has presented that there are judgments to the contrary. Would the minister not agree that a reference to the supreme court to clarify the question might help a lot of members in this place?
