Regroupement Scolaire Confessionnel
The Regroupement scolaire confessionnel (RSC) was a political party in the educational system of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, from 1990 to 2003. The party governed the Montreal Catholic School Commission (MCSC) from 1990 to 1998 and later formed the official opposition on the successor Commission scolaire de Montréal (CSDM). Origins The RSC was founded in 1990 by twelve sitting commissioners, including MCSC chair Michel Pallascio, as a vehicle to contest the 1990 elections. It was supported by the Mouvement scolaire confessionnel (MSC), a coalition of Roman Catholic groups that had dominated school commission politics since 1973 by endorsing candidates on an individual basis. One opposition commissioner described the RSC's creation as nothing more than a change in name, saying that it represented the same conservative ideology as the MSC. The RSC supported the continuation of Quebec's denominational school system, at a time when the opposition Mouvement pour une école moderne et ouv ...

Mouvement Pour Une école Moderne Et Ouverte
The Mouvement pour une école moderne et ouverte (MÉMO) is a political party in the educational system of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It has governed the Commission scolaire de Montréal (CSDM) since the commission's founding in 1998. Origins MÉMO was founded in August 1987 to contest that year's elections for the Montreal Catholic School Commission (MCSC). The party was secular and progressive in its orientation, and its primary goal was replacing Quebec's denominational school boards with boards based on language.

MÉMO was supported in the 1987 elections by the Montreal branch of the Parti Québécois (PQ). The party won four out of nineteen seats. This was regarded by many as a moral victory, in that it marked the first time in several years that an organized opposition movement had won any credible representation on ...

National Parole Board
The Parole Board of Canada (french: Commission des libérations conditionnelles du Canada; formerly known as the National Parole Board) is the Canadian government agency that is responsible for reviewing and issuing parole and criminal pardons in Canada. It operates under the auspices of Public Safety Canada. History The old ''Ticket of Leave Act'' was replaced by the ''Parole Act'' of 1959, which enshrined the principle of rehabilitation.

To ensure their immunity from political interference or influence, the five Board members were appointed for 10-year terms, with the possibility of renewal. The legislation set out the new criteria for parole: the Board could release an inmate who "derived the maxi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
