It was adopted by Parliament in response to Metis concerns that culminated in the Red River Rebellion led by Louis Riel . Riel was a major influence on the Manitoba Act since it was based on his list of rights. The Manitoba Act contained religious and language rights, namely rights to Denominational School s and rights to laws in both French and English . This has led to political controversies, however, including the Manitoba Schools Question in the nineteenth century, as denominational school rights were curtailed. The legislature also enacted English-only laws later found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court Of Canada in the case '' Reference Re Manitoba Language Rights '' (1985). EXTERNAL LINK |
