CONT

The Intervener submits that the "the major part" standard adopted by the province of Quebec is incompatible with subsection 23(2) of the Charter [of Rights and Freedoms] because its mathematical and inflexible application leaves no room to consider the interests of the child, the family and the minority language community.

CONT

L'intervenante soutient que la norme de «la majeure partie» adoptée par la province de Québec n'est pas compatible avec le paragraphe 23(2) de la Charte [canadienne des droits et libertés], parce que son application mathématique et rigide ne permet pas de prendre en considération les intérêts de l'enfant, de la famille et de la communauté linguistique en situation minoritaire.
