The Government of Saskatchewan says they are happy to see the Theodore School dispute finally come to an end.
The Supreme Court of Canada announced Thursday morning that they would not be hearing the Good Spirit School Division’s appeal, after the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal overturned a decision that would have limited public funding for non-Catholic students attending Catholic schools.
Provincial Attorney General Gord Wyant says he’s happy to see the Supreme Court honour the province’s decision.
“What this does is really just clarify that the status quo that’s been operating in this province for very, many years, in terms of parents’ rights to send their children to publicly funded schools, whether Catholic or public,” said Wyant. “In this province, that was sustained by the Court of Appeal, and so we’re very happy about that.”
