The SFM and the Association des juristes d’expression française du Manitoba (AJEFM) wanted to jointly intervene in a case between the Commission scolaire francophone des Territoires du Nord-Ouest and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Formation of the territory.
The case, which involves two issues, is scheduled to go to the Supreme Court in 2024.
One issue concerns the interpretation of Section 23 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on the registration of students of parents who do not have the right to French education. The second is the right to be heard and understood in French in court. It’s about that MFS wanted to speak.
In their joint brief, the MFS and theAJEFM argue that having the right to address a court in French without the right to be understood directly is contradictory. The two organizations point out that this issue is closely related to the institutional bilingualism enshrined in Section 23 of the Manitoba Act of 1870.
The Supreme Court therefore rejected her request raises a new question, namely the interpretation and application of section 23 of the Manitoba Act, 1870
according to the November 16 procedural bulletin (New window).
If approved, these interventions would widen the scope of the case.

That MFS pointed out that this is the responsibility ofAJEFM given the legal nature of the matter. Asked, no answer.
