Fall Deadline Dept: Bill 104 closed a loophole in a Quebec language law that allowed parents without English education eligibility to gain access to the public English language school system for their children by sending them to a private English school first. The Supreme Court decision was considered a victory for English language rights in Quebec. Anglophone parents and officials with Quebec's public and private English language schools say the province has refused to consult them as it approaches the fall deadline for revamping a law barring certain students from going to public English language schools. In October, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the law, calling it "excessive" and lacking nuance. The province was given a year to come up with a compromise. As
