Mémoire: La laïcité de l’état n’est pas celle de la société civile. Mémoire pour le Projet de Loi Nº9

La position générale de l’Institut Cardus est que le projet de loi nº9 brouille les frontières en allant trop loin, là où il devrait s’arrêter, et pas assez là où il devrait agir. Il ressort de notre analyse que certaines dispositions du projet de loi nº9 dans sa forme actuelle soulèvent de nouvelles ambiguïtés qui risquent de mettre en péril la laïcité québécoise.

Memo: Alberta’s 2026 Budget Consultation

Cardus reiterates our recommendation to allocate $600 million of the $8.6 billion School Construction Acceleration Program to capital investment for independent and charter schools. This investment will help alleviate pressure on the public schooling system at a lower per-student cost.
