* Constitution Amendment, 1997 ( Quebec ): permitted the Province of Quebec to replace the denominational school boards with ones organized on linguistic lines.

This amendment was made using the Section 43 amending formula ( Parliament and the Quebec legislature ).

However, the preamble to the resolution of the Quebec National Assembly adopting the amendment makes no reference to which amending formula is being used, and includes the following statement: “ Whereas such amendment in no way constitutes recognition by the National Assembly of the Constitution Act, 1982, which was adopted without its consent .”
