 The Court found that the numbers of Francophone children in Summerside, Prince Edward Island warranted French-language education in Summerside, under section 23 of the "Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms", and the province was constitutionally obligated to create a French language school.A number of Francophone families living in Summerside made a request to the French Language Board to build a French-language school in the community rather than bus the children to the closest French school 57 minutes away.The Board made a proposal to the Minister which was rejected.
