They may be the only people keeping an open mind as debate rages over whether Winkler's schools violated the province's human rights code by conducting religious exercises during school hours.

In this article, we outline the case history starting with the decisions of the Quebec Superior Court and Court of Appeal, explain the questions that the majority and minority asked themselves in the Supreme Court of Canada, and conclude by analyzing that Court's decision and its implications for Jewish spouses and spouses of other religious minorities going through the divorce process. "15 This is also the theory behind Jewish divorce, and in the "vast majority"16 of cases, a get is freely given in accordance with that theory.\n"257 While some may view this as an example of the court unnecessarily interfering in matters of religion, such an approach may be necessary so as not to frustrate existing legislative provisions with respect to removing barriers to religious remarriage.258 As ...
