Home > Regulation 17


 

Regulation 17 was a regulation of the Ontario ministry of education, issued in 1912, which forbade the use of French as a language of instruction after the first year of school, unless the pupil was unable to speak English because of "defective training", and which banned the teaching of French after the fourth year of school. It was strongly opposed, and after years of litigation was never fully implemented. Nevertheless, it worsened relations between Ontario and Quebec for many years.
