Saskatchewan's Appeal Court is to start hearing arguments today about whether mistakes were made by a judge who ruled the province can't fund non-Catholic students attending Catholic schools.
The 2017 decision caused concern among parents and with former premier Brad Wall, who at the time warned it could lead to over-populated public schools and could threaten to empty some Catholic schools.
The province argued in its appeal of Layh's decision that applying the ruling would resultn religious segregation. "These questions on how to read religious freedom today, alongside other parts of the Constitution, are a challenging legal question."
