Bill 21 in the Supreme Court of Canada: EMSB defends the constitutional rights of official language minorities and women

 Bill 21 in the Supreme Court of Canada: EMSB defends the constitutional rights of official language minorities and women

By: EMSB Communications

The English Montreal School Board made representations on the unconstitutional nature of Québec’s Bill 21, An Act Respecting the Laicity of the State, before the Supreme Court of Canada. The EMSB’s submissions focused on minority language education rights and gender equality.

The EMSB challenged Bill 21 in the Québec Superior Court in 2020. The legislation has barred the EMSB from hiring qualified teachers who wear religious symbols while at work (overwhelmingly, Muslim women wearing the hijab). The Québec Superior Court agreed with the EMSB and struck down key provisions of Bill 21 in April 2021 (the only successful challenge to the Bill at first instance). However, the Québec Court of Appeal overturned that decision in February 2024. The EMSB, along with other parties, successfully sought leave to appeal that ruling to the Supreme Court of Canada.
