(Richmond, le 26 juillet 2013)<\/strong> Importante d\u00e9faite pour tous les francophones du pays! La Cour supr\u00eame du Canada juge qu\u2019une loi datant de 1731 et imposant l\u2019anglais comme langue d\u2019usage dans les tribunaux des colonies britanniques est toujours en vigueur en Colombie-Britannique, refusant ainsi de reconnaitre la moindre possibilit\u00e9 que le fran\u00e7ais soit utilis\u00e9 dans les causes civiles entendues devant les tribunaux de cette province.<\/p>\n

En 2012, la Cour d\u2019appel de la Colombie-Britannique soutenait un jugement d\u2019une cour inf\u00e9rieure exigeant que le Conseil scolaire francophone et la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des parents francophones de Colombie-Britannique traduisent vers l\u2019anglais tous les documents qui seront pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s dans leur action contre le minist\u00e8re provincial de l\u2019\u00c9ducation pour obtenir la parit\u00e9 dans le domaine de l\u2019\u00e9ducation francophone dans la province. Le jugement concluait que la Loi de 1731 \u00e9tait toujours valide en Colombie-Britannique.<\/p>\n

La d\u00e9cision rendue aujourd\u2019hui par les sept juges de la Cour supr\u00eame du Canada n\u2019est cependant pas unanime. La cour Supr\u00eame reconnait que la cause \u00e9tait importante et exige exceptionnellement que les frais de cet appel soient rembours\u00e9s par la province.<\/p>\n

Dans le contexte de l\u2019action intent\u00e9e par le CSF, la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des parents et les parents codemandeurs, ce jugement pourrait avoir des cons\u00e9quences s\u00e9rieuses et pourrait forcer les parties \u00e0 traduire vers l\u2019anglais des milliers de pages de documents, augmentant ainsi de fa\u00e7on importante les couts li\u00e9s \u00e0 la poursuite juridique, malgr\u00e9 la capacit\u00e9 institutionnelle du minist\u00e8re de l\u2019\u00c9ducation de fonctionner en fran\u00e7ais.<\/p>\n

Pour le pr\u00e9sident du Conseil scolaire francophone, M. Roger H\u00e9bert, “ce jugement d\u00e9montre malheureusement que les minorit\u00e9s francophones ont encore beaucoup de chemin \u00e0 parcourir pour faire valoir leurs droits devant les tribunaux. \u00bb M. H\u00e9bert a ajout\u00e9 : \u00ab nous avons perdu cette bataille parce que la province a invoqu\u00e9 une loi obscure adopt\u00e9e il y a pr\u00e8s de 300 ans. Mais nous sommes engag\u00e9s dans une cause beaucoup plus vaste pour obtenir l\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 en mati\u00e8re d\u2019\u00e9ducation en Colombie-Britannique. Cette cause est juste. Le jugement d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui ne change rien \u00e0 nos d\u00e9marches et nous allons nous rendre jusqu\u2019au bout.”<\/p>\n

Pour sa part, le pr\u00e9sident de la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des parents francophone, M. Denis Roux affirme que “ce jugement impose d\u2019autres tristes et couteux d\u00e9tours sur la route de la reconnaissance des droits des francophones en Colombie-Britannique et au Canada. Il est important que tous les acteurs de la francophonie canadienne en prennent connaissance et qu\u2019ils sensibilisent les autorit\u00e9s politiques de leurs communaut\u00e9s au besoin imp\u00e9ratif de moderniser les lois et r\u00e8glements d\u2019un autre \u00e2ge, adopt\u00e9s dans un autre pays et qui ne sont pas adapt\u00e9s \u00e0 la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 d\u2019un Canada bilingue et multiethnique.”<\/p>\n

Le proc\u00e8s opposant le Conseil scolaire francophone, la F\u00e9d\u00e9ration des parents francophones de Colombie-Britannique et les parents codemandeurs au minist\u00e8re provincial de l\u2019\u00c9ducation d\u00e9butera en octobre prochain, devant la Cour supr\u00eame de la C.-B.<\/p>\n

A major setback!
\nThe Supreme Court of Canada rules that the Act of 1731 is still in effect!<\/h1>\n

(Richmond, July 26, 2013)<\/strong> A major setback for all francophone citizens of the country! The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that an act dating from 1731, which imposes English as the language of use in the courts of British colonies, is still in effect in British Columbia, thereby refusing to recognise the slightest possibility of using French in civil cases heard in the courts of this province.<\/p>\n

In 2012, the British Columbia Court of Appeal upheld a judgement handed down by a lower court, requiring the Conseil scolaire francophone and the Fe\u0301de\u0301ration des parents francophones de Colombie-Britannique to provide English translations for all the documents submitted in their legal action against the provincial Ministry of Education to obtain parity on the issue of francophone education in the province. The judgement concluded that the Act of 1731 remains in effect in British Columbia.<\/p>\n

However, the decision handed down today by the seven judges of the Supreme Court of Canada is not unanimous.<\/p>\n

With regard to the case brought before the courts by the CSF, the Fe\u0301de\u0301ration des parents and the co-plaintiff parents, this judgement could have serious consequences and could force the parties to have thousands of pages of documents translated into English, thereby significantly increasing the costs related to legal proceedings, in spite of the institutional capacity of the Ministry of Education to function in French.<\/p>\n

For Roger He\u0301bert, President of the Conseil scolaire francophone: “This judgement unfortunately demonstrates that francophone minorities still have a long road to travel before their rights are recognised in the courts.” Mr. He\u0301bert added: “We have lost this battle because the province has invoked an obscure law that was passed nearly three hundred years ago. But we are engaged in a much greater cause to obtain equitable treatment in the field of education in British Columbia. This is a just cause and we will take it to the finish.”
