 The majority of the Court first considered the Constitution of Canada, noting that the Constitution Act, 1867, which set out the rules for Canadian federalism, did not give any level of government exclusive jurisdiction to create language rights, and both levels probably could.There were language rights in the Constitution as well, and these could provide context for language rights cases.These include section 133 of the Constitution Act, 1867, and it was noted that in "Jones v. Attorney General of New Brunswick" (1975) the Supreme Court found that these can be expanded upon.
