Controversies
While Catholic high schools are funded by the provincial crown, making them open to any students who wish to attend, elementary schools do not have to enroll non-Catholic students. The Monarchy in Ontario is the Constitutional system of government in which a hereditary Monarch is the sovereign and Head of state of the Many argue that the practice of fully funding separate schools exclusively for the Catholic faith is discriminatory to other religions (i. e. the United Nations has twice chastised the province for this policy). The United Nations ( UN) is an International organization whose stated aims are to facilitate cooperation in International law, International security Supporters of the current Catholic education system point out that it has existed, in some form or another, since Confederation, and that the Constitution Act, 1867, enshrines the right to government-funded religious education to all Catholics. The Constitution Act 1867 (formerly called the British North America Act 1867, and still known informally as the BNA Act) constitutes a major part of The opposition, however, argues that this is an appeal to tradition and point to other provinces in Canada which amended the constitution to abolish Catholic school funding. Appeal to tradition, also known as proof from tradition, appeal to common practice, argumentum ad antiquitatem, false induction, or the "is/ought"
Recently, the issue of government funding for religious schools has become a major political issue (see Ontario general election, 2007), with John Tory's PCs supporting an extension of funding to all religious schools, Dalton McGuinty's Liberals and Howard Hampton's NDP supporting the status quo, and Frank de Jong's Greens alone calling for elimination of public funding for all religious schools (including Catholic Schools). The Ontario general election of 2007 was held on October 10 2007 to elect members ( MPPs) of the 39th Legislative Assembly of the Province The Ontario PC Party, formally known as the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario (in french Parti progressiste-conservateur de l'Ontario) is a Right-of-centre The Ontario Liberal Party is a Centrist provincial political party in the province of Ontario, Canada.

The board were embroiled in controversy in May 2008 when a report commissioned by the provincial government uncovered spending abuses by some trustees, including frequent meals and meals with alcohol charged to the public purse, and thousands spent on promotional materials.
