At Confederation, the laws of Lower
Canada provided for Roman Catholic and Protestant school boards in each of Montreal and Quebec City, and, elsewhere in the province, provided that Roman
Catholic or
Protestant parents had a right to request their own Roman
Catholic or Protestant schools if - I repeat - if the Roman
Catholic parents were the minority in a predominantly Protestant school district, or if the Protestant parents were the minority in a predominantly Roman

es d'exister, l'une catholique et l'une protestante, tant à Montréal qu'à Québec. Ailleurs dans la province, les parents catholiques ou protestants avaient le droit d'exiger leur propre
école catholique ou protestante si - je répète - si les parents catholiques composaient la minorité dans un district scolaire à majorité protestante ou si les parents pr
