Résumé
Since 1982, Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, litigation, and judicial decisions have played key roles in expanding and homogenizing official minority-language education (OMLE) policy outside Quebec. This article reveals the importance of looking beyond Charter jurisprudence to the broader policy impact of litigation and judicial decisions. The Supreme Court's 'Mahé' v. 'Alberta' (1990) decision was particularly important in putting OMLE policy on the agenda and for providing Francophone groups with important legal, political, and symbolic resources that were effectively exploited to generate policy change.
