Three things most likely to be legally challenged in Bill 96

 

Even before Bill 96 was adopted earlier this week, changing the scope of Quebec’s language laws, some local lawyers said they were putting together a plan to challenge it.

They were joined two days later by the English Montreal School Board, which said it would launch a legal fight against the bill.

But what in the bill, exactly, will they be attacking? The EMSB so far hasn’t specified, just saying it believes the bill compromises its right to deliver an education system as it chooses to do.

And the group of lawyers, whose spokesperson so far has been constitutional lawyer Julius Grey, hasn’t laid out their full legal logic yet -- they’re still working on it and aren’t going to rush it, Grey says.
