Public , School Status
Explained in Canada
by Jewish Congress
MONTRAEL, (JTA) — The
Canadian Jewish Congress
issued a denial of a report that
public schools in the Province
of Quebec are not owned or
administered by the public or
governmental bodies, but by
the churches.
"No public schools in Canada
are owned or administered by
churches," the statement by
the Canadian Jewish Congress
said. "All Canadian public
schools, including those in the
Province of Quebec, are owned
and administered by public
school boards and, financed by
school taxes levied by those
public school boards and col-
lected by the cities or other
municipal councils as part of
city taxes."
The statement points out
that there is no provision in
Canada's Constitution which
prohibits the teaching of re-
ligion or religious exercises in
tax-supported schools. "In Ca-
nada, as in the United States,
each provincial legislature —
corresponding to a state legis-
lature has control over the
public school system within
that province," the statement
adds.
The Canadian Jewish Con-
gress has always been opposed
to the inclusion of religious
education in the 'public schools
of any province in Canada and
has made its stand clear to the
various provincial governments.
Representations against re-
ligious instruction in the pub-
lic schools made to local school
boards are made by the local
Jewish communities in consul-
tation and cooperation with the
Canadian Jewish Congress.

Friedman says that not every

mends that they call the JNF

The committee has issued the
following statement: "A daily
