Financial support of elementary and secondary education in Canada has gone from absolute local dependence to local with some government support to local with substantial government support to current total government support with restricted, if any allowed, local support. This has been challenged on constitutional grounds in two provinces, Alberta and Ontario, by the Roman Catholic separate school system. This system does not receive support as the public school system and, in addition, has certain legally protected constitutional rights. The Roman Catholic school system seeks the inclusion of local taxation in these rights. The paper describes current funding and funding sources for each of the provinces and territories. (DFR)
