True, but I recall hearing it is specific to the Alberta constitution, where a clause was inserted guaranteeing a Catholic school board in order to get Quebec to agree to Alberta becoming a province. I'm sure the government could still work around that if there was the political will, but I don't think there is right now (at least not in either the PC or Wildrose parties).
