MONTREAL Quebec s Superior Court on began hearing the legal challenge to Bill 40 on school governance on Wednesday. The bill abolished school boards and replaced them with service centres, giving more power to parents committees in school service centres. However, school boards were maintained for English speakers as they battle the bill in court. The English school boards are arguing the bill is unconstitutional, because minority groups in Canada have the right to manage their own institutions, guaranteed by section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. English school boards have the independence and autonomy to challenge certain government decisions, to push back when we believe those decisions are not completely appropriate for our network, said Russell Copeman of the Quebec English Language School Boards Association.
MONTREAL Teachers across Quebec bagen a strike Wednesday morning in order to pressure the government to move forward on contract negotiations, which union heads say are at an impasse. The strike has affected 58 school boards and service centres in Quebec, all of which are under the Federation of Education Unions (CSQ), and the Quebec Provincial Association of Teachers (QPAT). “Teachers are actually pretty angry,” said QPAT President Heidi Yetman, who spoke to CTV News Wednesday over chants and clanging noisemakers. “I mean they re really angry at this government that has not taken care of us during the pandemic.” The strike affects 73,000 French and English teachers across Quebec. According to QPAT, the issues being negotiated with the government include improvement to daily working conditions.
