ORDERS OF THE DAY |
ORDRE DU JOUR |

Opposition Day |
Jour de l'opposition |

Mrs McLeod moved, |
Mme McLeod propose, |
Whereas the actions taken by Mike Harris and his government have reduced the excellence and accessibility of our education system; and
Whereas Mike Harris promised in the Common Sense Revolution that any funding cuts to education would not come from the classroom; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his government have in fact affected classroom funding with an initial cut of $400 million, which annualized will equal $800 million, and which has resulted in the elimination of the classroom for many young Ontarians and adult students; and
Whereas Mike Harris and his government have acknowledged that the current drop-out rate will cost the country $23 billion in lost productivity, $9.9 billion in lost taxes and $1.4 billion in welfare and unemployment benefits; and
Whereas many adult learners are high school drop-outs who realize the need to complete their high school education; and
Whereas Mike Harris' actions through Bill 34 will make adult education unaffordable for many; and
Whereas Mike Harris has closed the doors of education and opportunities for these individuals by a reduction of funding for adult education with the intended passage of Bill 34; and
Whereas the government's own studies have shown that junior kindergarten has a positive impact on children; and
Whereas the Royal Commission on Learning recommended that schooling begin at age three to maximize the benefit of early childhood education for each child; and
Whereas Mike Harris also promised to present a tool kit to the education sector to help them reduce their costs and failed to provide an adequate set of tools; and
Whereas, for many Ontarians the cost of the tax cut promised by Mike Harris will be a poorer education system;
Therefore this House calls on the Mike Harris government to fulfil its promise not to affect classroom spending; to refocus its priorities on the quality of our education system rather than simply cutting and slashing programs; and to promise no further cuts to the education system.
