“It is clear that all religious education must be financed by parents or other private means. In short, we can subsidize private religious schools without subsidizing the teaching of a religion,” Ms. McGraw wrote on the social network X.

“I am therefore not in favor of ending subsidies to private schools, whether religious or not, provided that they comply with the curriculum of the Ministry of Education and respect government standards,” he said. she added.

Last week, during a debate on a Parti Québécois motion calling for an end to funding for religious schools, Liberal MP Marwah Rizqy said her party’s position had just changed. “We are now of the opinion that we must stop funding religious schools in Quebec,” she said.

The member for Marguerite-Bourgeoys, Frédéric Beauchemin, – who is also a candidate for leadership – was the first to break ranks, affirming that he was in favor of maintaining funding for religious schools, in the name of freedom of choice parents.

It was then the MP for D’Arcy-McGee, Elisabeth Prass, who wrote on X that she did not support the end of subsidies to religious schools. “Our private religious schools are a vital pillar of many communities, including several private Jewish schools in my district and surrounding neighborhoods. As long as they respect the rules, they should not be subject to threats of ending funding,” she then indicated.

On Saturday, the Political Commission of the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) announced that it was launching a consultation with members on the subject. His report must be submitted on March 31, 2025.
