Should Bill 40 apply to the anglophone community?

'We will contest this judgment,' said Premier François Legault.

QESBA said it filed for an interlocutory injunction and judicial review in Quebec Superior Court on May 15.

English school officials say they still have a lot of concerns about upcoming school board reform.

The government has tabled 112 pages of new amendments to its proposed school board reform legislation, but none will appease a coalition of English-speaking groups who want the bill scrapped.

"It would be great, but I would be surprised if we adopted this bill before Christmas," he said on Thursday. "I would be surprised but let's hope."

The groups want the CAQ government to delay the adoption of Bill 40 until more consultations are held about the future of schools and public education. 

The study found that Bill 40 excludes parents from the administration of school boards and will result in minimal savings.

With the tabling of Bill 40, Roberge has "insulted" his former colleagues and "diminished" the teaching profession.

The premier says there are several reasons why he believes a recent Leger poll found 70 percent of anglophones do not trust his government.
