(1)  to amend, directly or indirectly, the provisions of the Charter of the French language (chapter C-11) relating to the language of instruction;

(2)  to modify or confer any minority language educational rights.

More particularly, the fact that a person who does not have a child admitted to the educational services provided in schools of a school service centre chooses to vote at the election of members to the board of directors of an English-language school service centre and pays school taxes to or runs for office in that school service centre does not make the person, or the person’s children, eligible to receive preschool, elementary or secondary instruction in English.
