Jones v. Attorney General of New Brunswick

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jones v. New Brunswick (Attorney General) (1974), [1975] 2 S.C.R. 182 is a leading Supreme Court of Canada decision on the protection language rights in the Canadian Constitution. The Court upheld the Official Languages Act, which made both French and English the official languages of the institutions of the federal government. The Court found that the law was in relation to the administration of the Parilamentary institutions and therefore was within the authority of the federal government under the peace, order and good government power of the Constitution Act, 1867.
