It's a thing in many provinces. It requires a constitutional amendment to remove. Some provinces have done so already. Currently Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Northwest Territories have publicly funded Catholic schools. Previously, this list also included Newfoundland, Quebec, and Yukon. Manitoba appears to fund Catholic schools at 50% of the public school rate.
@prodigalsorcerer @ontario @Evkob I believe that, in Quebec, it was the case that private schools (including religious schools) received a % of school tax dollars, depending whether they taught 80% or 50% of the public school curriculum.
Has this changed?
