Summary: 

Considering that the Constitution does not allow discrimination on the
basis of religion I would tend to think that Ontario's present state of
affairs whereby a public school system and a separate (Catholic) school
system are being funded by the gov't is unconstitutional. It would seem
to me that it would be necessary for the gov't to fund *all* religious
schools (and maybe private ones as well) or no religious schools.
The only way around this that I could see is if it could be shown that 
this discrimination is not being applied to individuals, but rather
to organizations and thus is not in the realm of the Charter.
Any comments from those who are more versed in the ins and outs of
the Constitution than I?
