This is established by section 72 of the Charter of the French Language. Ministerial permission for temporary residents to attend English schools is provided for in section 85 of the same Act: “Children staying in Quebec temporarily may, at the request of one of their parents, be exempted from the application of the first paragraph of section 72 and receive instruction in English in the cases or circumstances and on the conditions determined by regulation of the Government.” A detailed regulation in this regard has been adopted: [C-11, r. 4.4].
