The groups want the court to order the province to reinstate the 2015 curriculum, while the province wants the case dismissed. "The Constitution of Canada does not entrench any particular elementary school curriculum," says the government in its written arguments, known as a factum. If Ontario was not violating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms before the 2015 curriculum was implemented, returning to that curriculum now cannot be unconstitutional, the province argues. Online submissions on the first day of the consultation indicated widespread support for the 2015 curriculum. The government's legal argument says the consultation that resulted in the 2015 curriculum was far too limited to reflect the full range of public opinion.
